XR-047: User-Profile Access *

  • Article

Version 1.1, 2/1/2021

Titles must give users the option to access other Xbox Live users' gamercards wherever users' display names are enumerated.

More Information

Examples of where this requirement applies include leaderboards, session lobbies, and post-game statistics.

To perform this action, titles must use the ShowProfileCardAsync (XDK) or XGameUiShowPlayerProfileCardAsync (GDK) API on Xbox consoles, and when developing for Windows, the show_profile_card_ui or ShowProfileCardUIAsync APIs. For more information about these APIs, see the development documentation for your target platform.

Exemptions

This requirement does not apply when displaying names in areas where UI navigation is not enabled, such as in static loading screens or in a heads-up display during active gameplay.
