Xbox One: Real Name Option Won't be Available at Launch

Picture unrelated, I just like Kill La Kill.

A pretty cool feature of the new Xbox isn't going to be ready for the big dance come Nov. 19th. Speaking through a rep, Microsoft confirmed to Kotaku that the ability to use real names instead of Gamertags will drop at a later date through an update.

"While real identities continue to be part of our plans for the experience on Xbox One, at launch, customers will continue to search for friends using their Gamertags," a Microsoft rep said. "Our teams are working hard to deliver a quality experience for Xbox One. This means prioritizing some features and sometimes postponing others for a later update."

This is probably "world's tiniest violin" type stuff to most people, but I think it's an interesting feature. Better real names than XxX[insert uppercaselowercasenumbersaslettersbullsh*t]Xx
