Microsoft has announced that 1 vs 100 will not be returning to Xbox Live for a third season.
The Xbox Live 'show', which let players compete for real world prizes in an online game show, has been cancelled to allow the development team the opportunity to work on new projects.


"When we started on this journey, we knew we were creating an entirely new genre of entertainment that would be a continually evolving concept," said Dave McCarthy, General Manager, Microsoft Game Studios.



"We're very proud of the '1 vs 100' team and their accomplishments, and are excited to apply what we've learned to future programming."


The show ran for two seasons during its beta stage, and was one of the most innovative 'apps' to hit Xbox Live.


Microsoft also revealed that over 114,000 players competed in the show simultaneously during the beta session, winning the game a Guinness World Record.


"The "1 vs 100" team is now focusing their skills and applying the technology used to develop "1 vs 100" to new projects that will be unveiled in the future," said the firm.
