Xbox Live on Windows 10 won't charge for online multiplayer

4.7
The news of Xbox Live coming to Windows 10 was a bit confusing last week, but, slowly, details of how it'll work are surfacing. Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb recently responded to a fan on Twitter saying that Xbox Live Gold won't be required for online multiplayer using Live on WIn10 and mobile (like it is on consoles). Great news, right? Well, like The Verge notes, it should be for anyone who remembers the disastrous Games for Windows Live program that Microsoft tried implementing around 10 years ago. We reached out to the company for additional information and were told that there wasn't anything more to share at this time, but that'd change over the coming months.

I also find the title a bit misleading? Xbox Live Gold still costs, but it is not required to play online, I feel the title is slightly misleading.

DeluxeHazard Now if only they did this for their consoles. :/


Doubt they would ever do this sadly. Maybe for 360 on its last year or something.
They probably wont. They're going to try to suck as much money out of the console before the 360 dies.

GT-R Even if they wanted to charge for it nobody would buy that shit. Multiplayer has always been free on PC and Microsoft knows that it would be a huge flop just like GFWL when they tried to charge for that pile of sbit too.


Haha yea I know. I wouldnt buy it.
