'''Xbox network''', formerly known as '''Xbox LIVE''' is the online service used by [[Microsoft|Xbox consoles]].

==Xbox==
Xbox Live emulation is possible with '''[https://insignia.live/ Insignia]''': Free replacement for Microsoft's servers for the original Xbox console, allowing online functionality to be restored for the first time since 2010 which is allowing you to play online with friends and strangers.

;Xbox Live Connectivity
Xenia will never be able to connect to the real Xbox Live network. A simulated Live-like network is possible, however anything that interfaces with the official Microsoft services is not only not possible, but not something the project seeks to enable[https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/wiki/Roadmap#xbox-live-connectivity]. 

:Simulated Xbox Live Network: Implementing the system APIs for friend's list, leaderboards, etc. Reusing Steam or some other service would be ideal[https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/wiki/Roadmap#simulated-xbox-live-network].
:Game Servers: Some multiplayer games are peer-to-peer, however many have some server component required for either matchmaking or actual session hosting. Though it'd be possible to work with such homebrew servers if projects sprung up to support them Xenia itself will not be attempting to do so[https://github.com/xenia-canary/xenia-canary/wiki/Roadmap#game-servers].

:;Xenia WebServices
:The '''[https://github.com/AdrianCassar/Xenia-WebServices Xenia WebServices]''' project, currently under development, simulates Xbox Live functionality for P2P online multiplayer games. You need to use "[https://github.com/AdrianCassar/xenia-canary/releases xenia-canary-netplay]" fork to connect. This fork also could be used to communicate with [[Preservation_projects#Private_Game_Servers|private servers for games that require a dedicated server]] for multiplayer features. In this regard, games that require a custom server will not work unless a fan-made, [[Preservation_projects#Private_Game_Servers|private server]] is created. This is outside the scope of this fork or Xenia WebServices and will have to be developed by the community. See ongoing development for "xenia-canary-netplay" fork and Xenia-WebServices on [https://discord.com/channels/308194948048486401/1173434194525950062 xenia-netplay discord channel].

:To connect to Xenia WebServices servers, you can use the following addresses: "https://xenia-netplay-2a0298c0e3f4.herokuapp.com" or "https://xbox.rushhosting.net". Simply change the "api_adress=" value in the "xenia-canary-netplay.config.toml" file to one of these addresses. You can also visit their webpages to view active online users and lobbies/sessions. See [https://github.com/AdrianCassar/xenia-canary/wiki/Config-Setup xenia-canary-netplay config setup] page for more information.

*See [https://github.com/AdrianCassar/xenia-canary/blob/netplay_canary_experimental_readme/SupportedTitles.md#supported-games this page] for the "xenia-canary-netplay" fork compatibility list.
