#IDARB made available early on Xbox One

It Draws a Red Box, perhaps better known as #IDARB, wasn't scheduled to arrive until February — as part of Microsoft's Games with Gold — but as of today it's now available.

#IDARB can be purchased now on Xbox One for $14.99; however, if you're an Xbox LIVE Gold member, you can download it for free this month.

An offbeat, crowdsourced multiplayer action game, #IDARB is described as a "chaotic 8-player eSport jumping jetpack future arena ball game." Inspired by Bomberman and Smash Bros., with a mix of "cans of soda and paint-by-number books," players try to steal a ball and launch it into their goal. Players are able to pass the ball between each other and can emit an electronic pulse to knock it out of another player's hands.

What makes #IDARB unique — especially as an eSports game — is that the audience has an influence in the game. Viewers who are spectating a match can disrupt the players, in real time, through either Twitch or Twitter. Some examples include turning the ball into a bomb, spawning fireworks, filling the screen with water, and more.

#IDARB is the only Games with Gold title for Xbox One owners for February. You can check out the Xbox 360 offerings here.
