Games for Windows Live Client - Image 1There's a new Live Client for Games for Windows to be rolled out by Microsoft on Tuesday. So peel your eyes off that Left 4 Dead Survival Pack DLC for a moment, and check out the details here.

A mandatory system update will go live next week on Tuesday, April 21 at 2:00 AM PDT. It has been tested with all released and in-cert GFW-LIVE games with no issues reported. Players who are logged onto GFW-LIVE will not be disconnected or otherwise affected when the update hits, unless they are on for more than 8 hours straight during the time when the update launches.


Users will have to log out of GFW-LIVE and log back in after 2 AM to see the update, which will be mandatory in order to log back onto GFW-LIVE. This will have no effect on Xbox LIVE.


The update to the Games for Windows Redistributable and Live Client for Windows incorporates:

  • Live Client for Windows setup has now been localized into 13 languages.
  • Games For Windows and Games For Windows Live updates now available via Microsoft Update.
  • Miscellaneous bug fixes.
  • Support for larger premium downloadable content packages.
  • Okay, now you can get back to startling that Witch and crowning her (or at least attempting to).
