The TitleID uniquely identifies your game to Xbox Live services. It is used throughout Xbox Live services to enable your users to access your game's Live content, such as user statistics and achievements, and to enable Live multiplayer functionality. The TitleID is stored in the MicrosoftGame.config manifest file for your game.

The following example generates a URL for calling a back-end REST service used by the game. The XGameGetXBoxTitleId function is called to include the TitleID as part of the URL.

std::string GetBackendServiceUrl()  
{  
    uint32_t titleId;  
  
    RetailAssert(SUCCEEDED(XGameGetXboxTitleId(&titleId)));  
  
    std::stringstream url;  
    url << "https://example.com/some/api/call";  
  
    url << std::hex << std::uppercase << std::setfill('0');  
    url << "/titleId/" << std::setw(8) << titleId;  
  
    return url.str();  
}
