Sony PlayStation Network are not the only ones opening up games selection to democratic vote, now, an Xbox One development studio is doing it too. More specifically, a studio owned by Microsoft, Press Play, has made player participation a priority by calling on players to decide, by popular vote, which of three games it will develop next.

As was the case with the PlayStation Plus games, the candidates are each pretty strong in their own right. Players can choose to vote for either Dwarka, Knoxville or Karoo, which, as you will see in the trailers below, could not be more different from one another.

Dwarka, for example, has you step into the mining boots of dwarves who search for gold and battle foul creatures in the bowels of the earth. The action packed first person co-op game seems to marry procedurally generated underworlds to explore with good old fashion dungeon crawling.   

Then there is Karoo, a multiplayer construction game, which enables you to build your own vehicles and explore an open world, in what looks like a mix between Transformers and Lego meets Mad Max.

Last but certainly not least, the third candidate is Knoxville, a third person multiplayer action survival game. This one takes its cues from The Hunger Games, although contestants in this game show can all survive, depending of course, on whether players choose to betray their frenemies or not.

Take a look at the trailers below, the first of which introduces Press Play’s initiative, and the following three introduce each game. If you care to vote, you only need sign in with your Microsoft Xbox account.
