On behalf of everyone on the team, I would like to welcome you all to download the XNA Game Studio Express Beta. All of our partners and everyone on our team has worked extremely hard to get this to you!

XNA Game Studio Express enables individuals and small teams to more easily create video games using new, optimized cross-platform gaming libraries for Windows and Xbox 360. This beta release targets the development of games for Windows. The final version of XNA Game Studio Express will be available this holiday season and will enable development of games which target Windows and upon purchase of a XNA Creators Club subscription, the Xbox 360 as well.
