Xbox is testing removal of the Live Gold requirement for free games

Fifteen for all

Some changes are taking place for Xbox Live users. Today, an Xbox Insiders Alpha update will remove the Xbox Live Gold requirement for Party Chat, Looking 4 Groups and multiplayer in free games.

According to the release notes, these changes to the service are being made and tested before general availability, which implies that they will reach all Xbox users eventually.

Microsoft had previously announced that it would abandon the Xbox Live Gold requirement for free games in January, when it reversed the course of the Gold service price increase.

Xbox Live is also undergoing a change, with Xbox Live recently being renamed Xbox Network. “The upgrade from ‘Xbox Live’ to ‘Xbox network’ aims to distinguish the underlying service from Xbox Live Gold subscriptions,” Microsoft told The Verge.

It is good news for those who want to participate in some Fifteen days or War zone without the gold requirement, and it can be interesting if Halo InfiniteThe free-to-play multiplayer experience falls under the same provision.
