We're happy to re-announce the Xbox.com Community Developer Program! This is your opportunity to stay up to date on the latest changes to the Xbox LIVE® Gamercard data feed. Program members gain access to a private forum group where additional nodes and updates to the Gamercard XML feed will be discussed. Developers will also receive a special Xbox.com Forums icon to identify them as members of the program.

We are overwhelmed at the response from the development community in helping grow the importance of XCDP in the overall community experience. If you have applied to the program in the last six months, please be patient as we continue cleaning out our backlog of email over the next couple weeks.

If you have not applied yet, please feel free to submit your application for future consideration. We will only be accepting a small number of new applicants a month, but the more interest we receive the better cause we have to expand the program. Before applying please read the Community Developer Terms of Use.

We thank everyone for their keen interest in this program, and look for an announcement about the expansion of this program in the months to come.

For future program consideration please send us an email with the following:
