XACT is the Microsoft Cross-Platform Auto Creation Tool programming library / engine that was originally part of DirectX and now part of XNA

Well, I wouldn't refer to XNA in terms of "now". According to Wikipedia it's not developed since 2013 year. I wonder if some notable apps are still using this, otherwise I don't feel excited at all about this initial work.

The XNA kids pretty much moved onto Unity.

I think the only platform that XNA was enforced for prosumer (non-c++) development was the Xbox360 and the DRM server has been shutdown now so programs cannot be uploaded.
