    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    Microsoft DirectPlay has been deprecated. Deprecated components of "Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for Managed Code" are considered obsolete.

    When writing new applications, you should avoid using these deprecated components. When modifying existing applications, you are strongly encouraged to remove any dependency on these components.

    I suggest you to refer the article below:

    For anything gaming or Xbox related, head over to the Xbox Forums & they’ll take care of you.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.
