commercial use

Hi there,

I found the most relevant support article in regards to your question although this encompasses "Game Content" and how you decide to use the content you create using games owned by Microsoft:

https://www.xbox.com/en-us/developers/rules

Essentially you can use your Xbox however you want, but you can't use it to do anything illegal or against the Terms of Service of course, and there are some rules when it comes to digital licenses for games. These rules pertain to the content you
create using these games but using the games themselves in a similar fashion may also apply to these game content usage rules.

Commercial use of content you create using these games is definitely not allowed. Here is from a bullet point in the rules: "Except as described here, you can't sell or otherwise earn any compensation from your Item, including through advertisements in the
Item. This means you can't charge money in exchange for your Item, post it on a site that requires subscription or other fees to view the Item, or post it on a page you use to sell other items or services(even if they have nothing to do with Game Content
or Microsoft). You also can't use Game Content in an app that you sell in an app store."

Since you technically are not creating anything out of these games to then sell & distribute, and you state you are not going to charge to use the Xbox, I don't see anything wrong with setting up an Xbox to use for your arcade.

You may have to contact Microsoft head office about this. I know they discontinued the Kinect so a lot of the games and features don't work as well now. If you're running the Kinect and charging a fee that's definitely something you would want to get some
clarity on.

Hello,

I have not yet been able to find a good answer for you.

Maybe you could find some information here : https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/console/software-license-terms

Or try to Contact MSFT dircetly.

Hey there, as others have said it's quite a grey area, your best bet is to try to contact Microsoft about this.

Hi, we have a wall in an arcade that we would like to display games on. We are not planning to charge for this but still, can it be used?
