Insignia is a non-commercial server hosting project currently in open beta that aims to restore the functionality of Xbox Live for the original Xbox.[3][4] It provides a free service created via closed-source reverse engineering of the original Live server software, hosted on Insignia's own servers, and its aim is to support every title that had Xbox Live support. Some popular titles are either not supported yet or are supported on a limited basis. Games published by Electronic Arts used their own servers that were not based on Xbox Live and cannot currently be supported.[5][6]
Insignia can work on both unmodified and modified consoles, as well as Xbox emulators. To work on Insignia, a console has to be registered to Insignia's servers; the user can create an Xbox Live account similar to how it would have originally been done. Insignia is completely free-of-charge and has no monthly fee or initial signup price, though requires an email to register an account.[7]
Insignia currently supports most features that worked on Xbox Live, such as matchmaking, leaderboards, friends support, game invites, clans, user generated content, voice chat along with game updates and DLC downloads for some games.
By January 2025 it has over 21,000 users registered and supports 198 of 339 games that uses Xbox Live features.
