Is XNA available to be used from within Visual Studio 2013 (Ultimate) Preview? I have not heard, nor seen anything about XNA for VS 2013.
I have just installed VS 2013 and it's not there; I have it in VS 2012, so maybe there's a way to get it to work with 2013?
As of January 2013, XNA is no longer being developed, and it is not compatible with Windows Runtime (the API for developing Metro-style apps), which was introduced with Windows 8.
By the time the next generation of consoles released, XNA had been abandoned, but Monogame came in to take its place, and it had support for PlayStation 4."
XNA Game Studio Express Developers could create Windows games for free with the XNA Framework, but to run their games on the Xbox 360 they will have to pay an annual fee of US$99 (or a four-month fee of US$49) for admission to the Microsoft XNA Creator's Club.
On codeplex was released new XNA Extension for Visual Studio 2013. You can download it from: https://msxna.codeplex.com/releases
I'm running it successfully under Express 2013 Preview for Windows Desktop after following the same steps listed here for 2012: How to install XNA game studio on Visual Studio 2012?.
The only difference is that the version number in the paths and manifest is now 12 instead of 11.
