There was a time when Sony let PS2 and PS3 owners play their games online free of charge. Microsoft has yet to say anything else about the removal other than the statement above, but some reliable sources have hinted that big changes are coming. Hi, So I’ve been paying for an xbox live gold subscription for about a year and my son today advised me he hasnt used it, as it wont work. That’s an actual product that feels worth paying for, and at the very least, Game Pass feels like a default purchase for anyone with an Xbox, given that two, $60 game purchases a year will essentially pay for it. Asked by a fan if he thinks Xbox Live Gold really Is being discontinued, or just made unnecessary for free-to-play games, he answered, ‘I think it’s going away entirely’. XBL Gold was an arbitrary paywall for something that everyone should have already been able to access in the first place. Maybe knock that down to $100 and $150 respectively with some kind of deal or bundle, and lo and behold you still are making far, far more than when $60 a year XBL Gold subscriptions were the standard.

Unsurprisingly, this started a firestorm of speculation online, as many began to wonder if Microsoft would phase out Xbox Live Gold altogether or perhaps combine it with the popular Xbox Game Pass subscription service, which costs $9.99/month. That said, Microsoft has been dropping blog posts liberally over the past few months, so the news could arrive at any time. In an interview on the CrossFire podcast, GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb — who has been leaking dates and details about game and console reveals all year long — said that free online multiplayer “does seem very close to being a sure thing” on Xbox when Xbox Series X arrives. As long as you had the bandwidth (and the necessary hardware in the case of the PS2), you could play multiplayer games online with friends and strangers without a subscription fee. So instead of getting $60 a year from the majority of players, Microsoft will either be getting $120 a year from 12 month, $10 Game Pass subscriptions, or $180 a year from 12 month, $15 Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions which will still have the benefit of including Xcloud.

Q&A. Microsoft also recently announced that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which combines Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass for $14.99/month, will add xCloud game streaming free of charge this fall. They do have the advantage of…enormous console sales and a huge library of insta-buy exclusives, but Microsoft is trying to play the long game here. There are currently rumblings that Microsoft is going to kill off the concept of Xbox Live Gold entirely, the subscription service that usually retails for around $60 a year which gives players the simple ability to access access online multiplayer for Xbox games.

This week, Microsoft confirmed that Halo Infinite would have free-to-play multiplayer, and yet it’s not really free if you still have to pay for Gold. This has been “accepted” by gamers at this point, but it’s always been a little weird, considering that you are already paying your internet company money to access the internet, then you’re paying Xbox to access online gameplay through that internet, while also paying for the games themselves, where as you don’t have to do both for say, PC or mobile games.
