Some examples include: • XR-055: Game must display ESRB/PEGI rating during startup. • XR-045: Title must support system suspend/resume. • XR-030: All in-game transactions must use the Microsoft Store. Each requirement has a test case in the Xbox Certification Checklist. 📌 You must pass all mandatory XRs for certification. ________________________________________ ✅ 3. Green Test Cases “Green” refers to passing status: • Green = Pass • Red = Fail • Gray = Not Applicable (N/A) 4. Bug Report When a game fails a test case, a bug report is logged.
