Microsoft To Ban Users Using ‘Offensive Language’

What the details ‘offensive’ language, we don’t know yet.

Inclined to use bad language when gaming? You may need to hold your tongue if you are an Xbox One player. Microsoft has updated their code of conduct. Players who use “offensive language” or share “inappropriate content or material” on their Xbox services will find their accounts banned or suspended.


The changes will go into effect from May 1st, but it still remains unclear as to what Microsoft sees as “offensive language”. The Code of Conduct does advice players not to “publicly display or use the Services to share any inappropriate content or other material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence or criminal activity).”

I guess we’ll hear more details on this in the coming weeks.
