A low-cost 12-month licence version of GameMaker Studio 2 has been released. 

While it restricts export options to Windows and Mac, it does gives the user full access to shaders, integrated source control, SWF support, spine support, extensions and other advanced features.

GameMaker Studio 2 now supports Windows UWP export which means developers can easily publish to the Creators Collection section of the Microsoft Store on Xbox.

Creators Collection evokes memories of XBLIG on the 360. It's great that anyone can publish but eventually such storefronts devolve into chaos.

YoYo Games has just launched GameMaker Studio 2 with rich new features that make 2D game development accessible to beginners such as its trademarked Drag and Drop system (DnD™). Advanced users can use a powerful programming language (GML) and export their games to mobile, desktop and console platforms. 

Personally, I can't believe a drag and drop system can be trademarked but I guess, anything's possible. Also, it's difficult to say at a glance why anyone should upgrade from GameMaker to GameMaker Studio 2.
