14 years after being shut down, an Xbox Live replacement is reviving the game’s online servers
In 2010, Microsoft shut down Xbox Live servers for the original Xbox. That meant the online components of titles like Phantasy Star Online, Star Wars: Battlefront II, and Halo 2 were completely unavailable to play. While not everybody in 2024 still has access to an original Xbox and is mourning the inability to play online games, there are some folks who fit that description. Which is where Insignia, an Xbox Live replacement , comes in.
However, even if you do own an Xbox and Halo 2 and want to play with others through Insignia, you may still have troubles. According to the project’s website, close to 200 Xbox games are supported and over 10,000 users have registered, though at the time of writing less than 20 users were online. Still, perhaps news like this will result in an influx of dedicated fans and make finding matches easy in the future.
