Xbox becomes… XBOX: limited rebranding but already viral
20.05.2026 • 10h29
A minor change, but a change nonetheless, as the Xbox name is changing to all capital letters… only on the X network. For now?
A few days ago, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma posted a seemingly innocent poll on X: "Xbox or XBOX?". And when nearly 65% of respondents chose the second option, the title of the official account immediately changed from Xbox to… XBOX. A poll on X that changes everything! No changes were made to the rest of the official Xbox websites and documents, but it was a clever marketing move by Microsoft, since this change generated a lot of buzz and engagement from fans of the brand. A bit of movement and positivity from the Xbox community is exactly what Microsoft needs, at a time when the company realizes it needs to restore its brand image.
