Xbox Live in summary

Microsoft's Xbox was launched in 2001, and swiftly became one of the world's premiere gaming consoles, as have its successors, the Xbox 360 in 2005, the Xbox One in 2013 and now the Xbox Series X. From the start, the idea was to link console units up to an online entertainment store, where users could purchase new games and enhance the ones that they already owned. Hence, Xbox Live was born.
The major attraction of the service was the ability to play the latest console games over a broadband connection – something that no console had offered until Xbox Live came along.
Since its release in 2002, Xbox Live membership has been the place to go for all forms of digital products relating to the Xbox series. It was updated in 2005 and again in 2013 when new Xbox systems were introduced, and in 2007 it was also extended to Windows computers, making it potentially available for billions of people around the world. In the future, it will also be extended to smartphones and handheld Xbox devices.

Xbox Live membership features
Xbox Live comes in two major forms. As its name suggests, Xbox Live Free is free of charge and is available for all Xbox and Windows users. Xbox Live Gold is a paid-for subscription service that provides a wider range of online gaming options.
- Features in the Xbox Live Free Package:
Live Free provides a limited range of services that are enough to set up online play and social networking, but with restricted potential.
Players are able to set up their own avatars and they also have access to the Xbox web browser (Microsoft Edge on the Xbox One and Internet Explorer on the 360).
Players can save their games to the Microsoft Cloud so that they can pick them up later. They can also accumulate Microsoft Points to spend in the Xbox Live Store.
The basic package also supports various Microsoft-approved apps, including the search engine Bing, Skype and the Microsoft Movies and TV service.
- Features Included with Xbox Live Gold:
The range of features in the Live Gold bundle is considerably wider.
If they purchase the premium package, gamers can take advantage of five minutes of free recording, allowing them to show replays on a sports game and FPS shooters.
Hundreds of free games are made available with Gold.
Crucially, owners of the premium package are able to take part in online multiplayer gaming. They can supplement their gaming experience with audio communication and they can broadcast their gaming via the Twitch service. They can also share their footage via YouTube.
Several apps are only available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, including NFL on Xbox, Telus Optik TV and Halo Waypoint.
Xbox Live Pros & Cons
Pros
Cons
How does Xbox Live work?
Xbox Live is organised around a system of points or rewards that gamers can buy or earn through their play, and then use to purchase products at the Xbox Store. When they set up their Xbox Live account, every user chooses a GamerTag, which identifies them to all other users on the network. They can then start earning GamerScore points. These can be earned through achievements on particular games and are stored in every user's Xbox Live account.

When playing online, each user can select which GamerZone they prefer to occupy. This allows them to avoid hardcore gamers and to enjoy a more relaxed gaming experience in the Recreation or Family zones. The Pro and Underground sectors are available for experienced gamers and can be tailored to all skill levels and ages.
This software matches up individual Xbox Live users with approximately the same skill level, allowing for more evenly matched gameplay. Instead of climbing up large ranking tables, players can now be effectively ranked in as few as 20 matches on titles like Warhammer 40,000.
The more players use the Xbox Live system, the more rewards they earn. When they complete missions, participate in online surveys or spend money in the Live Store, they accumulate reward points in their local currency.
These reward points cannot be cashed out into actual money, but they can be used to buy products like streaming movies, games, apps and TV shows.
Xbox Live Accessories
Xbox live gives users access to unrestricted online gaming, however, it never hurts to consider purchasing accessories to help enhance your overall gaming experience, below are a few of the highlights to consider.

With Xbox Game Pass customers gain access to over 100 Xbox titles to be downloaded and played at any time.

The new Xbox Wireless Headset provides users with incredible audio and comfort all in a design that matches the newest generation of Xbox consoles perfectly.

Should you want to charge your controller but not want to leave the couch, purchasing an extended charging cable can be the perfect solution to solving your battery life issues.

Play just like the pros with officially licensed Xbox apparel.
