Xbox online multiplayer gaming for free-to-play games no longer requires Xbox Live Gold subscription
Microsoft today has announced its plans to make online multiplayer in free-to-play games available on Xbox without an Xbox Live Gold membership. From today box players will be able to access online multiplayer at no charge for a library of over 50 free-to-play games that support online multiplayer. For a full list of all 50 free-to-play Xbox games games jump over to the Xbox website by following the link below.
If a game or game bundle offers both free-to-play and premium/paid game modes or experiences, those experiences still require an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Also Free To Play Weekends involves premium/paid games, so participation remains a benefit available to Xbox Live Gold members only. Microsoft is also offering a one-time option for Xbox Live Gold members who only use their subscription for free-to-play games to immediately cancel and receive a credit based on their remaining time.
