Insignia still does not plan to support Xbox 360 games until we know more about Microsoft's end-of-life plans for the system.
Thank you for your kind support and patience; we hope the wait is worth it! (6/6)

We've also started research into Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live support, starting with backwards-compatible Original Xbox titles.
This will allow users to play over 100 Xbox Live-enabled Xbox games (once supported on Insignia), including voice chat, on their Xbox 360. (5/6)

We have identified the issue causing some users to not see DLC such as Halo 2 maps. To resolve the issue, navigate to Settings -> Parental Control on the Dashboard, and set Games to 'RP (Rating Pending)', which is the highest setting available. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Halo 2 will launch on Insignia in Public Beta on March 15th at 20:00 GMT (16:00 EST, 13:00 PST) with the following 10 multiplayer playlists. Please ensure your console is setup, and you've signed up for your Gamertag. See you soon! :D

Our work on Halo 2 continues! The initial work on the Teams service, necessary for Clans, is now complete. We are still missing Teams support for other connected services - but this is a major milestone on our list now complete. We hope you're just as excited as we are!

Our work on Halo 2 is well underway! Our testers are currently helping test the Rumble Pit playlist before we continue on to the next set of playlists. We hope it won't be too much longer!
March 5, 2024 at 2:02 AM
Our progress on Halo 2 continues! We are now able to make the playlists necessary for public matches, along with the user type (spot the logo by the name!). We will now be working on the other playlists, and the Teams service which is the last expected blocker.

Updates will require an unpatched HDD copy or XISO being ran directly from your console (or a real disc!) - Xbox game updates are binary patches and will fail if your game files have been modified in any way. If you see this error, please check your game! (3/3)

Insignia will not distribute DLC that was paid or not required for online multiplayers. Examples of DLC we will be hosting includes unlocker DLCs (where content is already on-disc) and maps required for online gameplay. We won't be distributing XBL Arcade games or paid DLC. (2/3)

Just a small thing we're working on right now - we are now able to show the correct Message of The Day on the Xbox live main menu. We're still some ways off supporting Halo 2, but we are working hard behind the scenes!

We've been working hard on the next big thing, Friends and Game Invites!

We wanted to share this progress with you all and screenshots of things that have not been seen for a very long time!

There's still a lot of work to do before this can launch, however.

Stay Tuned! https://t.co/Ab2AV18EPN

Yet another fix today - we've identified and solved the issue with Conker: Live and Reloaded's stats resetting! We have now cleared the boards, and they now work, as seen below. Thanks for your support! ^^ https://x.com/Insignia_Live/status/1658187205032960018/photo/1

A bug in statistics was fixed, which corrects some rankings shown in games such as TOCA 2 and PGR 2 when they were requested on their own. You will now see your correct rank, and not just rank #1! https://x.com/Insignia_Live/status/1658113351942041604/photo/1

Snooker fans, show yourselves!

World Championship Snooker 2004 [CM-042] is now available to play on Insignia, supporting leaderboards and online multiplayer.

This is a realistic PAL exclusive snooker game that was highly praised back in it's day https://t.co/MLU9iQEeqk

We've identified and fixed some issues with Insignia regarding sign-up and gameplay in Phantasy Star Online. We also now have a slightly new MOTD, which can be changed a lot faster; we thank you very much for playing and hope these issues make it easier to get online! https://t.co/bjBqLTdRJ7

Christmas is back on the Xbox with Phantasy Star Online; only this time it won’t be so Eternal!

Our setup assistant is ready, and you don't need to have been accepted into the beta to use it!

All of you can now run setup assistant to get the long-missed 'green circle'.

See https://t.co/Q1wpOXLMGP for both download and instructions. https://t.co/dLBJb3tXRj

Setup assistant is now feature complete.

We've added the option to view your HDD key, view credits and the build date; so it's easy to tell if you're using the latest version.

If nothing unexpected comes up, setup assistant will release tomorrow. https://t.co/IDS6G0UV9M

Our setup assistant tool is currently undergoing it's final round of testing, in preparation for distribution. it won't be much longer now! https://x.com/Insignia_Live/status/1583882895428489218/photo/1

We're getting closer! Policies/terms of service are in! https://x.com/Insignia_Live/status/1583881909578665985/photo/1

The administrative side of Insignia has been updated tonight; we can now show a user that they have been suspended, that they need to change their Gamertag, or that they have to accept the new TOS before going online. https://x.com/Insignia_Live/status/1582874628661604353/photo/1

One of our developers is already working on EA support for Insignia. It's still very early days and none of these EA games are playable yet, but we have at least been able to get Burnout 3 to log in! https://x.com/Insignia_Live/status/1558606196101316609/photo/1

Many of the titles that do not include the Xbox Live banner are only live-aware.

One such game is Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. There's no banner on the box, but there is a green "Xbox live aware" market on the back, very easy to miss! https://t.co/qG0t0X7w0j

After some trial and error, Insignia is now able to forward packets between Xboxes - this means even players on restrictive NAT/CGNAT should be able to play without issue. We tested this using XEMU in NAT mode with Unreal Championship, and as seen here NAT busting worked! (1/2) https://t.co/8FaH...
