The Verge:

Microsoft is rebranding Xbox Live to Xbox network. Instances of the new branding started appearing in the Xbox dashboard recently for beta testers, with clips being uploaded to “Xbox network" instead of Xbox Live. Microsoft has now confirmed the name change.

For nearly two decades, “Xbox Live" has been the name of online play for Xboxes.

The new name isn’t bad, and all and all, Xbox Network and Xbox Game Pass are way better titles than PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now. 1
