Using XDP

Important Xbox Developer Portal has been replaced, and publishing is now done through Partner Center. Please see Publish Windows apps and games, the Xbox Live Testing and Releasing documentation, and the Advanced Publishing Guide.

The topics in this section provide a general understanding of how your Xbox One content is structured in the Microsoft Xbox Developer Portal (XDP), how to access content that is set up, and other general topics about using XDP.

After your company has an agreement to create products for Xbox One, you can begin to configure your content in the XDP. If your company is not yet set up with XDP access and you are developing a game, contact your Microsoft account manager; if you are developing an application, contact Xbox App Partner Requests (xboxapps@microsoft.com); and if you are working with the ID@Xbox program contact ID Setup (idsetup@microsoft.com).

The ID@Xbox program enables qualified game developers of all sizes to unleash their creativity by self-publishing digital games on Xbox One, giving studios the tools and support needed to maximize their success. Click here to learn more.
