I want to write an XNA game using .NET 4.5, so that I can use one of the new features that isn’t in .NET 4.0.

Is there any way to do this? VS2012 doesn’t have XNA listed anywhere in the list of New Projects.

I have also seen this question:
How to install XNA game studio on Visual Studio 2012?

But I’m only a hobbyist and I couldn’t get xcopy to work (plus I don’t think I have the game studio, only the framework). I was wondering if it was possible to instead target .NET 4.5 in VS2010, anyway.

Thanks in advance.

    I have removed the original answer as it is no longer relevant.

    MonoGame is a reimplementation of XNA built to run with the Mono platform, allowing you to easily port existing XNA games or build new games using a framework designed to operate like XNA.

    Microsoft no longer supports XNA but endorses MonoGame, going as far as to release games from Microsoft Studios built on MonoGame and more recently (at the time of writing) announcing forthcoming support for MonoGame on Xbox One.
