How can I make my XNA game available for play?

Question

I have just completed my game with C# XNA 4.0 and when I compile and run it works perfectly.

I just have 1 question. What do I do next to package it all up and make it uploadable so people can download and play.

This is answered throughly on the MSDN page Distributing Your Finished Windows Game . Especially if you just want to use the simple, standard ClickOnce method of distribution.

The page Packing and Distributing Your Game has info if you're not doing a normal Windows distribution.

Answer 2

If you intend to use it on Xbox, try: Create game for xbox or Creator's Club You will need a creator's club membership to post games on Xbox. Also, remember to change the input of you project to:

GamePadState gPad = GamePad.GetState();
if (gPad.Triggers.Left > 0.5)
{
    //Game pad trigger is pressed
}
