For those invested in the Xbox platform, it is hard to imagine the experience without Xbox Live. Some time ago, Microsoft confirmed that Xbox Live was coming to Android and iOS games. Many expected only Microsoft titles to support Xbox Achievements and other features, but it turns out that third-party developers are in on the fun too.

　　Yesterday, renown mobile publisher Gameloft announced that Xbox Live is coming to its select mobile games, starting with Asphalt 9: Legends, Asphalt 8: Airborne, and Dragon Mania Legends. Players will be able to access all standard features such as Xbox Achievements, friends list, and compare their rankings with Leaderboards. Gameloft's head Baudouin Corman said the following on the announcement.

　　We are thrilled to be partnering up with Microsoft to bring the Xbox Live network into Gameloft's flagship games. As one of the first partners to support Xbox Live on mobile devices, we seek to provide to our community more ways to experience our games and extend their fun, while seamlessly continuing to bring console, PC and mobile together.

　　The new Xbox Live updates will be added to these games in the coming year, but we don't have a date just yet. Gameloft also said that they'd add more titles as time progresses. Considering that Gameloft is a big name in the mobile gaming space, we can expect other major developers to eventually follow suit.
