    So an xbox title that is free to download yet utilizes Live services should be exempt from a fee? I don't own an xbox JUST to play fortnite...I just happen to play fortnite on it. And I have an active subscription because I play many games on it and I
    enjoy the stability and security of it's network (which is not maintained by unpaid individuals) If you want to play fortnite completely for free you can play on the other platforms.

    Money.

    I agree though, free to play games should be free to play online like they are on the competition’s console.

    Because it is still classified as online multiplayer. Any online multiplayer on Xbox required XBL Gold to play.

    I'd rather have the more reliable servers, personally, and I'm willing to pay for it.

    The question is not why. It's the Xbox rule that gold membership is needed to access multiplayer.

    Hi i would like to know why you have to pay to play fortnite when it is a free game. It is kind of unfair because there is console such as playstation and nintendo and they could do the same thing as xbox but they dont it is free on both consoles. Technically
    you would have to pay £5.99 a month meaning that it is not free. please take this in mind and i hope you can change this rule. There are people that are and have sold the xbox just to get a ps4 but i am not going to do that because i have faith and i think
    that microsoft could maybe change this rule.

    Many thanks

    To my knowledge you have to have PSN as well as Switch Online to play Fortnite online on other consoles. Nothing new here with needing Gold to play it here

    That's the rules. On xbox you need a subscription to play any multiplayer game.

    Hello,

    I understand what your says and it makes a lot of sense and do agree in a way, but this will most like not happen since Xbox Live Gold has been required for Online Play for 10+ Years

    Xbox Live Gold covers a lot of Areas / Features for Example: Server Maintenance, Security, Deals with Gold, Games With Gold, Party Chat + More Features

    Hi all,

    This is not a new question, and this particular thread is from several months ago.

    Rather than revive an old (anything over a month old from the last response), it's best to start a new thread.

    Feedback and suggestions such as wanting free to play games to not require Live to play them should be directed to uservoice.xbox.com so the right people see it.
