Is Xbox Live closing down this year? Here’s the latest on Xbox Live getting discontinued by Microsoft for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
Microsoft’s Xbox Live service is in the process of rebranding. This catchall term for the systems’ online networking features has been around since the beginning, but that’s about to change. The service is now titled “Xbox network” in an attempt to more plainly portray its purpose. Microsoft believes that the change will help to distinguish between its behind-the-scenes networking framework and paid Xbox Live Gold subscriptions. Hints that Xbox Live was on its way out have been around for a while now. Last summer, the Microsoft Services Agreement received an update referring to the “Xbox online service” in place of its typical branding.
