Check your Xbox profile for a neat nod at the now-departed Xbox Live Gold

Microsoft has commemorated its recently-departed Xbox Live Gold subscription service with a shiny new badge on users' Xbox profile screens.

The award - which is of course coloured gold - is designed to reward previous members of the service.

"Xbox Live Gold 2002 - 2023", the award states, referring to the 21 years since Microsoft first launched Xbox Live for the original Xbox.
