What is Xbox Live Gold, and is it necessary for online gaming?

I recently read on Facebook about Xbox Live Gold. It is a subscription service that allows Xbox users to play multiplayer games online. Users often inquire about its benefits and whether it's required for online multiplayer gaming. I need details about it as I want to buy the Xbox Live Gold.

Xbox Gold was discontinued in September and is now Game Pass Core. Core is required to play most games online on console (free-to-play games do not require a subscription) and you get a handful of Game Pass games with the subscription. https://www.xbox.com/xbox-game-pass/core

Hello! Although in other platforms it is different, to play any online game on xbox it is necessary to have an xbox live gold membership.

Xbox Live Gold membership is needed for playing multiplayer with others online. It is not necessary for splitscreen or system-link.

Xbox Live Gold requires you to pay to play with others online, yes. Xbox Live Silver is free. Silver lets you download and use the xbox marketplace, but you will not be able to play with others online.

Xbox live gold has always been necessary to play xbox games online. If you arent keen to pay for it you can always earn it by using Microsoft's rewards programs.

Hi Nursa_21! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

It's requesting you to get Game Pass Ultimate because it's an online game, for you to play the game it's necessary to have a Xbox Live Gold suscription, Game pass for console only gives you access to the game without making the purchase of the game but to play online you need Xbox live Gold
