# Development tools for Xbox services

> Overview of GDK development tools for XBOX services titles, how to launch them from a GDK command prompt, and where to download the XboxLiveTools package.

Various tools in the GDK can help you develop for XBOX services.

To get these XBOX services development tools, launch a GDK console or call the tools directly in the GDK bin folder.

Many of these tools are also available using this [aka.ms link](https://aka.ms/xbltools) or in the [XBOX Service Developer Tools GitHub](https://github.com/Microsoft/xbox-live-developer-tools) repo.

To create your own custom tooling, you can use Microsoft.Xbox.Service.DevTools.dll in the GDK or the [Dev Tools library source code](https://github.com/microsoft/xbox-live-developer-tools/tree/main/Microsoft.Xbox.Service.DevTools).
