Insignia is a server that aims to restore the functionality of Xbox Live for the original Xbox.[3] It is in active development and currently supports 185 games. Insignia's aim is to support every title that had Xbox Live support. Some popular titles such as games by Electronic Arts are either not supported yet or are supported on a limited basis.[4]

Insignia was created via reverse engineering and is currently in open beta. Insignia was released as an open beta in November 2022. It has over 17,000 users registered as of August 2024.

Insignia can work on both unmodified (stock), as well as modified consoles, also including 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 requires an email to register an account.[5]
