XR-003: Title Quality for Submission

FMA scenario severities

See the XR-003 reference for the underlying certification requirement.

003-02 Title Integrity

Notes
  • Notify the Microsoft representative for Microsoft Store related issues (for example, placeholder content displayed, English description for non-English locales).
  • In general, if a partner wishes to use English text with the console set to other languages, this text is acceptable. If a language is supported but not implemented when expected, query with the Microsoft representative as to the partner’s intention.

003-16 Save-Game Compatibility

Notes
  • For digital only titles, users can’t experience the scenario of trying to load a content-updated save on a previous version of the title as they can never revert back to it.
  • PLS — check the AppxManifest.xml to verify that PLS is being allocated for the submission. What they use it for isn’t as important as long as other game-save data is saved using connected storage and is available on another console. Example pulled from AppxManifest.xml:
