I have xbox one, what do i have to do to play xbox live multiplayer games?

Yes you need to go to Walmart or target and get a live gold gift card with 1 month 3 months or the whole 12 months. Whatever length you want you buy. (They come in preset time increments.) And purchase that and go to the proper settings to add the back of the card numbers. And then you'll be able to connect with friends via game chat etc. Without live. Gold you won't get these options.

Hi Brayden,

Just to add to what Smwutches said above, also make sure your account privacy settings allow you to play online.

Privacy settings to enable online multiplayer:

“Join multiplayer games” - set to allow.

And if you want to play with friends outside of Xbox Live (cross-play):

“You can play with players outside of Xbox Live“ - set to allow

Note: If you’re on a child account, an adult in your Microsoft family will need to sign in and adjust your privacy settings. Also make sure to select ‘submit’ to confirm and save any account changes.

If you experience any issues connecting to an online game, refer to this multiplayer troubleshooting page:

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/hardware-network/connect-network/xbox-one-nat-error

So to confirm, all you’ll need to play online multiplayer games:

- Allow the above privacy settings

- Xbox Live Gold subscription (although free to play games will soon no longer require a Gold subscription to play online as confirmed here)

- Internet connection to Xbox Live, preferably with an Open NAT type

- A console and profile with no enforcement action affecting online multiplayer

You don’t need any additional hardware for this, although I would recommend getting a headset if you don’t have one already. A headset improves your gaming experience and allows you to communicate with friends easier



Hope this helps!

You would just need a Gold subscription.

You don’t necessarily need to go to a store to purchase an Xbox subscription or gift card, this can simply be done on your Microsoft account. This way you can have a recurring subscription, like Netflix, where you don’t need to redeem a code all the time.

If you want the actual code for a subscription or gift card, perhaps you want to gift it to a friend or prefer to have prepaid time, then you can purchase digital codes on the Microsoft website or other genuine sites like Amazon. You’ll be emailed a digital code, which can then be redeemed on your account through the Microsoft store.

Alternatively, select “buy as a gift”, when managing your own subscription, to send it to a friend.

Also, if you have Microsoft Rewards, you can redeem your points for subscriptions and gift cards for free

It has multiplayer campaign, but do I need Xbox Live Gold for play it alone?

If not then I will buy the game. If I must have Xbox Live Gold for playing that mode on Xbox One, then I skip the game for sure.
