Mad Catz Interactive Inc., a worldwide third-party video-game accessory manufacturer, has signed an agreement to become an official software publisher for Microsoft’s Xbox video game console. Under the agreement, Mad Catz will churn out Microsoft-endorsed titles in North America and Europe.
“This agreement is very significant for Mad Catz since it marks the first time we’ll publish software for the Xbox console,” says Mad Catz president and CEO Darren Richardson. “It is an important element in our strategy to publish games to be used in conjunction with our game-specific accessories and adds new revenue streams to leverage our existing infrastructure.”
