# Configure XBOX data platform 2013 in Partner Center

> Configure the XBOX Live data platform 2013 service in Partner Center, including events, stats, achievements, leaderboards, and challenges.

This topic provides procedures for configuring data platform (also known as XBOX Live data platform 2013 and XBOX data platform 2013) in the Partner Center service configuration for a title.

<Tip>
  If you're using Data Platform 2017, follow the documentation available in the GDK at [XBOX services](/services/xbox-services/index).
</Tip>

## What is XBOX data platform 2013?

The XBOX Live data platform 2013 is a RESTful service, which means that the service runs in the cloud. Your game or app can send data, in the form of *events*, to the service, which then processes the data to create user statistics, achievements, leaderboards, challenges, and a variety of other data-based information, according to rules that you have defined. These rules are known as a *service configuration*, and they let the XBOX Live data platform know how to process the event data from your title.

For more information, see [How data platform 2013 works](https://developer.microsoft.com/games/xbox/docs/xdk/how-data-platform-works).
