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
SSA Titled (ZDPP specially marked)
- Server-Side Activation (SSA) include a unique product key with the game. The key is permanently bound 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.
