    Free-to-play and Xbox Live


    I let my GamePass subscription lapse, and I was not allowed to play Fortnite online. I was under the impression that a subscription would not be required for free-to-play online games. Is this not the case?

    :)

    xbox live getting free

    i want to know are you making xbox live gold free? and when will i be able to play free online games on xbox one?
    No. They are not making Xbox Live Gold free. They are only make games that are "free to play" such as fortnite for example, not require you to have gold to play online.

    Other games that are not "free to play" will still require a paid Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to play them online.

    There is no date announced yet for when free to play games could be played online without gold.

    Free Xbox live for free to play games.

    Rocket League

    I heard Rocket League is to become free to play. Will Xbox Live Gold still be required for online play?.
    You'll still need Xbox LIVE for online play regardless of whether or not a game is free-to-play. For example, Fornite is free-to-play but you have to have LIVE in order to play it. Hopefully this helps you out AP. :)

    FREE TO PLAY REQUIRES XBOX LIVE??

    You need Xbox Live Gold to play online. The majority of free-to-play games use online functionality.
    It's just not worth playing for Xbox Live just to play a Free To Play game. If they don't agree with this, then they might as well make the Free to play available only to Xbox Live Gold members only. Congratulations to Play Station for not being so greedy
    and just let people enjoy gaming.
