Please continue to develop and fund new Xbox games for Windows Phone!

Xbox live games was one of the main reasons I went with WP over over iOs/Android... It's been a very disapointing lately with the lack of new games. Heck, I'm still waiting for the ABSW update with Hoth levels :/

It's getting annoying that nothing is coming out. On top of that, games on my WP7 are not compatable on my WP8. So much for getting all the achievements or even getting to the end of the game.

I agree with the above posters. Honestly, Windows Phone was the reason why I started looking for an Xbox and taking an interest in Halo, Forza, etc (current PS3 owner). For the next Xbox, I'll be in line for it. But honestly Microsoft, what's with the dry up on Xbox for Windows Phone games? Or rather, what's with the lack of premium titles such as Halo or Forza.

I agree with the others. I have a Lumia 920 so have seen a couple of titles but it really feels like Nokia is putting more effort into Windows Phone than Microsoft.

That's not just when talking about games either. MS has been quiet on a couple of topics in the Community forums. Hopefully that was related to the holidays and things will pick up now that everyone is back to work.

I know I am not alone in this sentiment that the number one feature for WP was the option to play xbox LIVE titles on the go, the phone. The slick OS is a huge plus too. As soon as I noticed WP commercials with Live titles over 2 years ago I had to switch to WP. Two years later I am still waiting for what I hoped to expect from Xbox/MS studios, awesome games.

I am a huge WP fan now not because of the live titles, because they are severly lacking, but because the OS is slick and intuitive. I feel a little bit of resentment however since I was brought to WP with the promise of Xbox Live games, and yet very few exlusives came our way in two years.

Xbox, MS, if you are listening you have a huge fanbase, millions of gamers, who not only already own a part of the ecosystem, Xbox 360's, but PC's as well. This is a missed opportunity. Nokia can only pull so much of the weight with their great devices, you need something else to set you apart from ios and android. Tap into your fanbase for goodness sakes. Give us gaming on the go, connect our phones to our xbox 360's and kinects. Provide us the ability to start an Xbox arcade title and continue it on our phones!

Simply. Give your fans some Xbox games on WP, exclusives. MS brought the xbox 360 to compete as the underdog and it has paid off nicely, and this is an opportunity to do it with WP.

Mais jogos xbox live é importante, ó será que não querem levar wp 8 em frente?

Yes, Microsoft. Please remind your Business Development unit that Windows Phone is completely awesome and deserves the support of the entire corporation. There are many games that can easily be ported if they will just approve it!

While it would be great to have premium titles such as halo, I would be perfectly happy of they simply ported some of the better Xbox live arcade titles. Games like Castle Crashers, Limbo or Braid. Maybe a halo offshoot developed only for windows phone. Something to drive interest and make people want to own a windows phone, something that android and apple wouldn't have. Microsoft is sitting on a literal gold mine of perfect games to port to windows phone, and I'm sure they have at least thought of this. If there were exclusive games like this on my phone, I don't think in would ever leave. I'm sure it wouldn't be cheap, but this is Microsoft and Xbox. Be a damn shame to have all of this potential and do nothing with it. If those games were good enough to buy on Xbox, I have a hard time believing that they wouldn't sell on WP8.

It wouldn't be so bad if Microsoft could come up with some announcement or some sort of ETA. Countless games that were supposed to be released have yet to seen the light of day... Very sad to see no word from Microsoft at this point. I never thought it would come to this, especially so early. I hope we don't have to endure the downfall of Xbox Live on Windows Phone...

You all realise that WP8 is still fairly new huh? Was very slow for games just over 2 years ago when WP7 was released....

With WP8's relation to Windows 8/RT, Microsoft really needs to beef up its game.

If given the time, funding, and promotion it deserves, Windows Phone will eventually become the preferred mobile OS for gamers.  Keep Xbox on Windows Phone alive!

Xbox Live is one of the most important features on Windows Phone and with increasing sales numbers it should be more easy to get developers on it. And even Microsoft could do much. Think of the potential mobile versions of Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Fable and Age of Empires would have, to be good games, to have wow effect to customers and even to gamers who thought the best games are on other platforms.

I have a Windows Phone primarily for the Xbox music and Xbox Games, and if the Xbox games dry up, I'm going back to iOS. So get it together Microsoft, you can't afford to loose me!

Xbox Live enabled games is the best way to tempt gamers away from iOS and Android, AND keep us loyal achievement-hunters happy. I've support WP7 with an Omnia 7, and now WP8 with a Lumia 920 - PLEASE keep the games coming!

➕1 I chose this OS for the XBOX Live games

I agree, I have had Windows Phone from release on Verizon(Trophy and had WM devices in the past)... I have always been mostly disapointed with games for WP7, after looking at games like Rage for iOS (for example) that would run on a 3GS and my WP7 only as more puzzle type games than anything else (mostly but, not all but, even things like Spliter Cell for WP7 looked like a n64 title more than a modern game).

So, there is a few newer titles for Windows Phone 8 (grabbed a 8X), and you got the Disney titles over so you can get the 46 of 50 apps but, where the heck are the AAA titles I would expect from a brand name like Xbox? Why even call it xbox if you can't give Xbox titles ?????

I hope to be impressed soon but, after a few years, I still dont feel I have that unreal title I have been waiting for, some cooll games but, nothing mindblowing.... What is the use of a Dual core CPU if you dont use it ?

+1 from me. Microsoft need to capitalise on their current Xbox User base. We need more high end games to switch gamers across to Windows Phone.

You would think this would be something they would be pushing right now. Blackberry 10 is coming this year and that is really Microsoft and windows phones true competition at this point. Apple and android are going nowhere, but if BB/RIM, who I believe already has a larger user base than WP, overshadows them, they are done. Need apps/games. More importantly, you need something exciting and, as great as some of the games they have now are, porting some well known/popular titles from Xbox would certainly be more exciting than Where's my water

Yes MICROSOFT WE NEED MORE GAMES! how do you expect me to refer the platform to people that want xbox live achievements, to buy the phone. grrrr i love this phone so damn much. but were are the games

Agreed. Microsoft could and should be doing much more for Xbox on Windows Phone! Perhaps this is the calm before a new push, but it doesn't feel like it.

I bought an HTC Windows 7 phone over the HTC Android one (almost identical handset). This was based solely on the Xbox Live function of the Windows phone (despite Android having a far larger marketplace). Please continue to support and develop Xbox Live on the phone. It really is a good selling point, and without it I am sure others will not decide to make the switch to Windows (I know I wouldn't have done)

I agree with the the posts in this thread.  I have two Windows Phones, and the main reason is for the games with Xbox Live functionality.  I recently acquired an Android phone, and I have to admit it's pretty nice.  If the support for games on the Windows Phone platform dries up, I will likely end up switching.  

They do release games, unfortunately a majority of them are stupid Nokia exclusive titles. If MS stopped this nonsense with Nokia exclusives the rest of us would have like 10+ more games to choose from.

Yep, I'm going to pile on and voice my extreme frustration over the lack of Xbox Live (or Xbox for Windows Phone) games.  If Microsoft is changing their stance on pre-announcing games before they are released, then I can understand that.  However, if Microsoft is backing away from releasing Xbox for Windows Phone, that is a serious problem.  I do hope that they are not backing away from Xbox games on Windows Phone.

Post from Windows Phone Central goes over this. Might not be the case, but it is certainly a possibility.

Please don't give up on Xbox Enabled Windows Phone games just yet. So much of the community love the Xbox Live features we've seen in over 150 games on Windows Phone so far and would love to see a great deal more. I've spent a lot of money purchasing apps and would feel very disappointed if you give up now so please give us more games ASAP!

We deserve much more than this MS.

If you all look there's a video on the WP showing 12 new up and coming games for 2013.

Can someone tell me how to delete game requests on the WP. I have more the than twenty or so just from alpha jaxx and i don't even play the god damn game its got to a point where im thinking about resetting my phone because of it but i don't want to loose all my save data from all my other games just because of one S##T game the is flooding my phone with invites and i no can turn them off but that still doesn't get rid of the ones that are already on my phone. Microsoft this needs to be sorted unless im blind and i can't see the delete request option.

DARK KILLA660, if you press and hold on the turn invites in the Games hub, it'll give you an option to delete them. Anything else I can help with?

I just started to play with my Lumia 610 and xbox live, and also xbox 360. I found it fun, entertaining, so c'mon, Microsoft, keep it alive!

No thats all thanks dude.

As stated above in numerous posts... please MS, keep the games coming (and don't forget about us 7.x owners too...); as many others have said, I too went with WP so that I could play Xbox live games and get achievements. It is an integral part of the phone/OS's advantage (Modern UI is too, I am not forgetting that...)

I'd love more console style games. I enjoyed The Harvest, Splinter Cell Conviction, Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles and a few other games. We rarely get new games for WP and when we do they are puzzle games that I have no interest in.

It's amazing that they haven't come up with a single halo title for WP. Not one since wp7. That is crazy. Hell, not even gears of war. I know that would cost money, so would porting some of the better xbla titles. But what else can they offer in terms of games ( or apps ) that the other mobile platforms can. Not much. Seems like a pretty glaring omission to me. Those are the kind of games I would pay 6.99 for. I would t be able to say no to games like limbo, halo, gears, or even minecraft. Instead I get to choose from games that have either been out on the other platforms for quite a while, or some pretty lackluster ( for the most part ) third party games/apps. You need the heavy hitters to be successful. The OS is different from anything else right now, and damn near perfect imo, games and apps have to be a priority, even if it is going to cost them initially.

Gameloft is releasing 12 new games this year. Run a Google search on them. As far as Halo and Gears mobile games, if you want them, talk to 343 Industries and Epic Games. They are the DEVELOPER of those series. Microsoft is the PUBLISHER. Everyone posting here does not seem to know the difference.
