The Microsoft Xbox Live Developer Tools enables game developers to create their own tools for the Xbox Live service and access ones created by Microsoft.

Welcome

Please refer to the official Xbox Live Tools documentation site for further information.

The Microsoft Xbox Live Tooling API provides a way to:

• Reset a player's data in test sandboxes. Data includes achievements, leaderboards, stats and title history.
• Manage a title's global storage in test sandboxes.
• Manage a title's Xbox Live configuration.

To get access to Xbox Live services you must be a managed developer, enrolled in the ID@Xbox program or participating in the Xbox Live Creators Program. To learn more about these programs, please refer to the developer program overview.
