Hi, I’m working on a prototype related to Xbox Coins that could boost usage and profitability. It’s not a game, so I’m unsure whether to submit it through ID@Xbox or another Microsoft program. Could you advise the right path?

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Understand Program Fit**

    • ID@Xbox is only for game development. Since your project isn’t a game, it’s not the right path.
    • Join Microsoft Partner Center
    • Sign up at partner.microsoft.com as a developer or independent software vendor (ISV). Prepare a Clear Proposal
    • Describe your prototype, its purpose, how it benefits Xbox users, and any technical needs. Contact Microsoft for Guidance
    • Use the Game Dev Contact Form to explain your idea and ask for the right program Follow Microsoft’s Response
    • If accepted, you’ll receive onboarding steps and integration resources
