Xbox packaging in UE5

Development Pipeline & Plugins
1

Xbox packaging for UE5 seems to have been removed? Everywhere I look online indicates that packaging for Xbox simply requires choosing the Xbox option in platforms – screenshots even show this function. But I don’t see that option in my editor (latest version of UE5) and can’t track down any way to add it in.

TLDR: is packaging for Xbox (even for testing purposes) simply no longer supported?

(to be clear: I have Xbox dev kit installed on my Xbox and am registered with Xbox Device Portal. The problem seems to be that the Portal requires a UWP file and I can only package a Windows EXE file.

I also reached the same point as you, but I didn’t achieve anything, because I didn’t sign as ID@Xbox, I signed as a student. Now you must request access to the epic games team, using this form here: Unreal Engine Forms

I found this path, through Microsoft’s own step-by-step guide, in this link here: Unreal development for PC: get started - Microsoft Game Development Kit | Microsoft Learn

related to this topic, it was the most recent step-by-step guide I found, I hope you can do it, good luck! And if you can, let me know if you remember.
