'Xbox network' refers to the underlying Xbox online service, which was updated in the Microsoft Services Agreement. However, when we initially reported on Microsoft rebranding Xbox Live being to the Xbox Network, we included Microsoft's reasoning behind the name change.
We apologize for any inconvenience.Why Did Microsoft Rename Xbox Live to the Xbox Network?Īt first glance, this seems like a pointless change for Microsoft to make. This is a technical glitch and we're working to fix the issue as soon as possible. : A Microsoft spokesperson provided the following comment to GamesIndustry International: "We're aware there is an issue affecting the Xbox Games Store that has temporarily removed some content including Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Live Indie Games titles. Games that have already been downloaded onto an Xbox 360 will still work fine, but users looking to re-download the titles are unable to do so. Affected titles include some of the system's biggest hits, including Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition.
Affected titles no longer available as of this writing include Castle Miner Z, the storefront's first million-selling title.Ī similar culling of content has happened on Xbox Live Arcade, where only 135 games from the system's eight-year lifespan are currently available. Previously more than 2,000 titles were on offer at the store. The company has since issued an Xbox Live service alert about the issue, saying it is "working diligently to get everything back on the up-and-up as quickly as possible."Īs noted by Xbox Live Indie Games developer Milkstone Studios, the Xbox Live Indie Games catalog was cut to just 949 available titles. The Xbox Live Arcade and Xbox Live Indie Games catalogs are looking a little light at the moment, as hundreds of titles disappeared from the Xbox Live Marketplace this morning.
