Hello,

All online multiplayer gaming requires a Live subscription regardless of the game's price. You can post feedback/suggestions at
https://xboxideas.uservoice.com/.

If you are in a region that offers Microsoft rewards (formerly Bing rewards), you can join that to earn points that can be redeemed for a number of items, including Live subscriptions.

On the Xbox ecosystem, users connect to Xbox Live before connecting to the Internet at large. When using multiplayer content, players must subscribe to Xbox Live Gold. The subscription cost goes to maintaining the Xbox Live servers, keeping them updated
and providing for overall security on connected Xbox consoles.

The usage of this game is the same on all devices. The game itself is free to download and to play, provided that you have paid for any required access (Internet access fees, online service fees, etc.). On Xbox, as noted, that requires Xbox Live Gold. This
is a more fair system than selectively granting free access to certain games. It's fair to players who pay for the service (but do not play that game) as they don't see others getting to access multiplayer content for free when they themselves have to pay
for it. It's also fair to the developers; Epic Games (the publisher of Fortnite) elects to make money on the game through microtransactions instead of by selling the game at a retail price, so other developers who don't believe in microtransactions won't be
penalized with poor sales because users would have to pay to engage in multiplayer activities on their titles.

I hope your son enjoys his new console. Many Xbox players have other gaming consoles ... after all, we're all gamers.

You pay your ISP for their services - for Xbox, the cost of Live covers the multiplayer servers and services. Allowing only a certain group an 'out' from paying for the services that everyone else pays for is what they've deemed to be unfair.

For playing online you have to pay on Xbox...it makes you safer than on other platforms.

It's a commonly asked for service to be honest. Is it a fair one though? Not so sure. Why should you have to pay for other games online but not that one? I cant see it happening to be honest. But you never know.
