Key points

List of games that feature Games for Windows - LIVE integration; some games have LIVE removed from certain versions (see Games for Windows - LIVE removed).
For a list of Steam games that use Games for Windows - LIVE, see The Big List of 3rd Party DRM on Steam.
Players outside the Xbox LIVE Countries and Regions must use a local profile. Local profile support is listed beside the game when known.

Activation details

There are two kinds of GFWL activation, SSA and Legacy.

SSA Titled (ZDPP specially marked)

Server-Side Activation (SSA) binds the product key permanently to the Microsoft account, similar to Steam. These games have no activation limits.
If an SSA product key is bound to an account that is not in a supported region the key will be lost (and, consequently, access to the game).
Some SSA games have Zero Day Piracy Protection (ZDPP), an extra DRM check to prevent playing pre-release games.
Any game with Module Authentication (MA) disables the possibility of creating a local profile to play.
