This is a sorted by release date and name list of Games for Windows – Live titles; 73 (including released and former) video games under Microsoft's Games for Windows – Live platform, which include online gaming features. Two common features in all listed games are friends and achievements. With the closure of the Games for Windows Marketplace,[1] none of these games are available for purchase on demand from that store anymore, but the client software and the servers are still available.[1]
