+# Windows (PlayFab)
+
+Windows has no native equivalent of Game Center or Google Play Games. On Windows the
+`games_services` plugin is implemented in pure Dart on top of the
+[Microsoft PlayFab](https://learn.microsoft.com/gaming/playfab/) REST API:
+
+| games_services concept | PlayFab feature |
+| --- | --- |
+| Sign in | `LoginWithCustomID` with an anonymous device id (a GUID persisted via `shared_preferences`) |
+| Leaderboards | Player **statistics** (`UpdatePlayerStatistics`, `GetLeaderboard`, `GetLeaderboardAroundPlayer`, `GetFriendLeaderboard`) |
+| Achievements | Definitions in **Title Data**, per-player progress in **User Data** |
+| Saved games | **Entity Files** for the payload, an **Entity Object** for the index |
+
+## 1. Create a PlayFab title
+
+1. Create a title in the [PlayFab Game Manager](https://developer.playfab.com/) and copy its
+   **Title ID** (Settings → Game Properties), e.g. `ABCDE`.
+2. In **Settings → API Features**, enable **Allow client to post Player Statistics** (required
+   for `submitScore`).
+3. In **Settings → Client Profile Options**, allow **Display Name** and **Avatar URL** so the
+   player profile and leaderboard entries can return them.
+
+## 2. Initialize before sign-in
+
+`initialize` is a no-op on Android/iOS/macOS, so it is safe to guard with a platform check or
+just call it everywhere:
+
+```dart
+import 'dart:io' show Platform;
+
+void main() async {
+  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
+  if (Platform.isWindows) {
+    await GamesServices.initialize(playFabTitleId: "ABCDE");
+  }
+  runApp(const App());
+}
+
+// later
+await GameAuth.signIn();
+```
+
+`initialize` optionally accepts:
+- `customId` — use your own stable player id instead of the auto-generated device GUID.
+- `displayName` — set the player's display name when the account has none yet.
+
+## 3. Leaderboards
+
+Each leaderboard maps to a PlayFab **statistic** whose name is the **iOS** leaderboard id you
+pass (Windows reuses the iOS identifiers). Create the statistic in **Leaderboards** (or let the
+first `submitScore` create it). Time scopes (`today`/`week`/`allTime`) rely on the statistic's
+configured reset frequency; `loadPreviousOccurrence` reads the prior statistic version.
+
+> Leaderboard entry avatars are returned as **URLs** in `scoreHolder.iconImage` on Windows
+> (the signed-in player's own `iconImage` is base64, fetched once at sign-in).
+
+## 4. Achievements
+
+PlayFab has no built-in achievement system, so define your achievements in **Content → Title
+Data** under the key `achievements` as a JSON array:
+
+```json
+[
+  { "id": "first_win", "name": "First Win", "description": "Win a game", "steps": 0 },
+  { "id": "100_kills", "name": "Centurion", "description": "100 kills", "steps": 100,
+    "lockedImage": "<base64>", "unlockedImage": "<base64>" }
+]
+```
+
+- `steps` is the total step count for incremental achievements, `0` otherwise.
+- `unlock`/`increment` write progress into the player's User Data key `achievements_progress`.
+- `loadAchievements` merges the definitions with the stored progress.
+- `resetAchievements` clears the progress key.
+
+## 5. Saved games
+
+`saveGame` stores each save as a PlayFab Entity File (a JSON envelope containing the data, an
+optional base64 cover image, description, and played time) and records lightweight metadata
+(name, modification date, device name) in an Entity Object index so `getSavedGames` is cheap.
+`loadGame` downloads and unwraps the file; `deleteGame` removes both.
+
+## Not available on Windows
+
+These return `null` because they have no PlayFab equivalent:
+
+- `showAchievements`, `showLeaderboards`, `showAccessPoint`, `hideAccessPoint` (no native UI)
+- `getAuthCode` (Google Play Games only)
+- `fetchIdentityVerificationSignature` (Game Center only)

+## 5.2.0
+
+- Add **Windows** support, backed by [PlayFab](https://learn.microsoft.com/gaming/playfab/). Call `GamesServices.initialize(playFabTitleId: ...)` before `signIn()` on Windows (no-op on other platforms). Supports auth, leaderboards (statistics), achievements (Title Data definitions + player-data progress), and saved games (entity files). See [docs/windows_playfab.md](https://github.com/Abedalkareem/games_services/blob/master/docs/windows_playfab.md).
+
+## 5.1.0
+
+- Add optional `coverImage`, `description`, and `playedTime` parameters to `SaveGame.saveGame`. On Android these are set as the snapshot metadata (cover image required to pass Google's Play Games Services quality checklist). Ignored on iOS/macOS. (#228)
+- Fix Android `saveGame` using the unique name as the snapshot description; the description is now only set when provided. (#228)
+
 ## 5.0.1
 
 - Return `null` for `playerID` and `teamPlayerID` when GameCenter configuration errors lead to temporary IDs. by @theLee3

+## Windows (PlayFab)
+
+Windows has no native equivalent of Game Center or Google Play Games, so on Windows the
+plugin is backed by [Microsoft PlayFab](https://learn.microsoft.com/gaming/playfab/) over
+its REST API. See [docs/windows_playfab.md](docs/windows_playfab.md) for the full setup, but

+```
+
+Notes:
+- Windows reuses the **iOS** identifiers you pass for leaderboards and achievements.
+- Leaderboards map to PlayFab statistics; achievements are defined in PlayFab Title Data with
+  progress stored in player data; saved games use PlayFab Entity Files.
+- Native-UI methods (`showAchievements`, `showLeaderboards`, the access point) and
+  Apple/Google-only methods (`getAuthCode`, `fetchIdentityVerificationSignature`) return
+  `null` on Windows.
