  • Microsoft XNA ("XNA's Not Acronymed") is a set of tools, complete with a managed runtime environment, provided by Microsoft, that facilitates computer game design, development, and management. XNA does this by freeing game designers from writing "repetitive boilerplate code", and brings all aspects of game production into a single system.

    At GDC 2008, Microsoft announced plans on enabling a community publishing pipeline for the Xbox 360. These are a variety of applications also unveiled at this time.
