Insignia’s website is currently unavailable due to emergency maintenance ahead of a PHP security fix. The on-console service is still available, though sign-up emails will be delayed until the website is back up and running. The Insignia Team apologises for the inconvenience.

Gotcha! [TT-126] and YetiSports Arctic Adventure [JW-004] are now available on Insignia YetiSports is a leaderboard-only title and has no online multiplayer.

Bicycle Casino [AV-064], Robotech: Invasion (NTSC) [TT-027], and Robotech: Invasion (PAL) [TT-127] are now available on Insignia. Unfortunately, Robotech: Invasion is region-locked for online play.

NCAA Football 2005 [EA-081], including its Tournaments feature, is now available to play on Insignia. Tournament reminder notifications and the web UI are currently under development; please ensure you note when the tournaments are due to start and join promptly.

If a tournament round is missed, a player will be randomly chosen, with weighing for the higher-ranked player. If your tournament opponent is online, you can challenge them to your tournament match without waiting for the countdown.

NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup [EA-083] is now available to play on Insignia. We hope you enjoy!

Burnout 3: Takedown [EA-091] is now available on Insignia. PAL users can play with NTSC users, as long as PAL-60 is enabled. We have also enabled Delta Force Black Hawk Down [NL-002], MTX Motorax [AV-034], NFL Blitz: The League [MW-038], and Monster Garage [AV-065]. Thank you for your patience!

We apologise that Need for Speed Underground: 2 was not our 200th title. We don't expect it to take much longer, but as Burnout is ready we didn't wish to delay any further. As our EA work is new, it's possible some minor bugs arise that weren't found in testing - we will be on the lookout!

We will now return to our usual programming, and continue our work on both EA and Xbox 360 backwards compatibility support. We hope it’s worth the wait!

Here's my newest bit of fun: ABadAvatar, a fully automatic from-boot dashboard exploit for the Xbox 360, using Grimdoomer's BadUpdate exploit! This isn't the final release, but I wanted to get an official source for it before things got *too* out of hand :p github.com/shutterbug20...

We appreciate we've not announced anything in quite some time, so we'd like to share our current development progress. Our main focus has been getting EA's online services working so we can restore Xbox Live functionality in EA titles. Here's where things stand right now: (1/6)

We've also started research into Xbox 360 and Games for Windows Live support, starting with backwards-compatible Original Xbox titles. This will allow users to play over 100 Xbox Live-enabled Xbox games (once supported on Insignia), including voice chat, on their Xbox 360. (5/6)

Insignia still does not plan to support Xbox 360 games until we know more about Microsoft's end-of-life plans for the system. Thank you for your kind support and patience; we hope the wait is worth it! (6/6)

11 titles have partial matchmaking support. In these cases, we can create lobbies, but cannot yet start actual gameplay. Leaderboard and tournament support are still not yet implemented. (3/6)

We are happy to announce that Need for Speed Underground 2, both PAL and NTSC/ASIA releases, will be the first EA-enabled game on Insignia, and also our 200th supported game. We are not currently able to share an exact release timeframe, but we believe it is close! (4/6)

I built a portable Xbox. This isn't a PC handheld, it isn't emulation, this is a real motherboard from a real Xbox. It has a 9” 480p display, pure digital video/audio, 100W USB C charge and play, and I'm currently adding WiFi 6 for wireless Xbox Live functionality. Yes, really.

Libby always works hard on getting more games supported - we are always so grateful! ❤️
