Xbox LIVE Silver renamed to Xbox LIVE Free

Xbox LIVE’s non-Gold, free service is no longer known as Xbox LIVE Silver. Microsoft’s revealed today that the free option for its online service has now been renamed to simply Xbox LIVE Free.

Xbox LIVE Free will still include the same features it featured when it was named Xbox LIVE Silver. The name change is merely cosmetic, Microsoft’s confirmed.

The name change is currently in effect on the redesigned Xbox.com, however, won’t land on the Xbox 360 dashboard until the system’s upcoming Fall dashboard update.

Thanks, Gamasutra.
