Add Xbox Live Service to Your Xenko Project

Discover how to integrate Xbox Live services into your Xenko game project with this step-by-step guide, enhancing player experiences and social features.

We have continued to work hard on our support in Xenko for Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform (UWP). Keeping with this, we've been working closely with our Microsoft partners to add official support for the Xbox Live SDK. So, now Xenko developers will have the opportunity to add Xbox live to their games.

What is the Xbox Live SDK? 🔗

The Xbox Live SDK is a set of APIs that power all social interactions on Xbox Live including friends, achievements, and multiplayer. Started originally on XBox, the service is now available on multiple other platforms.

It is available on nuget.org for registered ID@Xbox developers.

If you haven't yet joined ID@Xbox you can learn about the program and how to join here.

Once you have applied to the program and have been accepted as a managed partner with Microsoft, feel free to get started using our newly created Xbox Live sample here.

We hope you will give this a try, and let us know about your project! Feel free to leave any comments or suggestions below on how to improve the experience.
