Microsoft XNA Game Studio 2.0 released

Microsoft has now released XNA Game Studio 2.0.

XNA Game Studio 2.0 is essentially their next generation game development platform for the Xbox 360 gaming console and the Windows operating system.

Microsoft said that this new version enhances the XNA Game Studio Express which was released last year.

The latest edition comes with the ability to create online, cross-platform multiplayer games for Xbox 360 and Windows.

It comes with more than 15 new features.

Chris Satchell, general manager of the XNA organization at Microsoft added in a statement: “When building XNA Game Studio 2.0, we wanted to offer everyone the opportunity to utilize the rich gaming environment of LIVE used by AAA developers for titles such as ‘Halo 3′ and ‘Gears of War,’. We accomplished our goal with this new toolset, and, best of all, it remains highly accessible to students, hobbyists and pros alike.”
