After over 20 years of service, rumours suggest that Xbox Live could be nearing game over. Microsoft is apparently going to relaunch its online multiplayer service as Xbox Game Pass Core.
It seems this isn't just a name change either, while the price will stay the same it looks like Game Pass Core subscribers will receive access to a smaller version of the Game Pass library to play 25+ titles for free. That's all well and good, but how can Xbox ensure that Game Pass Core is a glorious new era for online gaming and not another Stadia? I hope you're taking notes, Phil Spencer.
