    Free-to-play multiplayer games no longer need Xbox Live Gold


    Hi,

    This xbox web link below suggests:

    For free-to-play games, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold membership to play those games on Xbox. We are working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months.

    No Changes to Xbox Live Gold Pricing, Free-to-Play Games to be Unlocked [Update]

    Any idea regarding a tentative date, when would this change be available, it's already 3 months gone since this news has been published.

    Or it is possible to play free-to-play multiplayer games without Xbox Live Gold now ??

    Any help/update would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Sam

    :)

    Why we need xbox live for free games?

    free games need live as they are still full titles with multiplayer and online features and some also require xbox live gold to be played just like games with gold games

    Windows Live and Xbox live question. Please answer ASAP.

    Not 100% sure but I think you do not need gold for GFWL.

    When Games for Windows Live launched, a Gold Membership was required to play multiplayer games via Matchmaking, but non-matchmaking was fine with an Xbox LIVE Silver (Free) membership.

    About four or five years ago, they changed it so a Gold Membership was no longer required/needed for anything to do with Games for Windows Live. A Gold membership does nothing for PC gaming.

    Free to play

    Hello blackdriver1710,

    Thank you for your post. Games on the store that are free to play are available for download can be played in singleplayer without Xbox Live Gold. If the game has multiplayer features an Xbox Live Gold subscription is needed to play.

    Xbox Live Gold

    Why i must buy Xbox Live Gold when i want to play Fortnite or other multiplayer games (free to play games too)?? Because my parents doesn't want to buy xbox live Gold... please help!!
    As soon as you want to play online multiplayer games on Xbox through your console, you will need a paid Gold membership.

    If your parents don't want to pay for Xbox Live Gold, you could play Fortnite on a PC for free.
