Please microsoft, remove obliged gold subscription to play fortnite

Xbox Live is required to pay for the servers and the techs to maintain the Live service.

Hi there,

Thanks for voicing your opinion here on the forums! Xbox Live Gold is required to play any multiplayer game and a paid
subscription is how Microsoft keeps their servers all over the world maintained, as keeping those servers up and running 24/7, 365 days a year all around the world costs a lot of money. It wouldn't be fair to make an exception for free to play games when normal
games also need to pay for a subscription to play online.



There are many ways to earn the Xbox live gold subscription. First you can look for deals to get the subscription initially.
Then there is Microsoft rewards/Bing rewards.
This allows you to accumulate points from searches that everyone nowadays does and get points from purchases of games, DLC etc. With the points you can then turn around and
purchase Xbox live gold subscription. With an Xbox Live Gold subscription you also get other benefits like, Free Games with Gold and Deals with Gold.



Since there is no further resolution and in an effort to minimize repetitive answers we will be locking
this thread, but if you have any further questions or concerns feel free to come back to the Xbox forum (Do not repost the same question or thread as that would violate the
Xbox Forum Guidelines).

We appreciate your understanding and happy gaming.

Nothing will be taken! This is the Xbox LIVE rule! All games that are played online only play with Xbox Live GOLD. No exceptions.

Your best bet would be to submit or upvote feedback related to your query. You can do so on the
Xbox Ideas website.

Hey there,

All games that have an online component require the Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to access that content. This allows for a consistent service across all experiences for all users.
