Microsoft's attempt to rename Xbox Live to Xbox network is evident from the Xbox dashboard available for beta testers.

Xbox Live started its service in 2002, one year after the first Xbox was released, and has continued as an online service that can be used on terminals such as Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S / X.

Twitter user @EvilBoris discovered that Xbox Live has been renamed to Xbox network.



After confirmation by foreign media The Verge, Microsoft has approved the rebranding of Xbox Live. A Microsoft spokeswoman said, 'Xbox network refers to the online service that underlies Xbox as updated by Microsoft's Terms of Service .' 'Updating the brand name from' Xbox Live 'to' Xbox network 'is The purpose is to distinguish the underlying services of Xbox from Xbox Live Gold membership. '

When Microsoft updated its terms of service in August 2020, there was a rumor that it might change the brand name of Xbox Live. The reason is that Microsoft referred to Xbox Live as the 'Xbox Online Service' under the Terms of Service.

However, Microsoft told The Verge, 'We called it the Xbox online service because it also includes the underlying features of the Xbox, such as the cross-save feature and the friend request feature.' He commented that he had no plans to rename Xbox Live or discontinue Xbox Live Gold.

If you have an existing Xbox, you can't play multiplayer online games without subscribing to paid Xbox Live Gold. However, The Verge reports that Microsoft plans to eliminate the need to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold to play free online games like Fortnite.
