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.

LegaI wow this will be pretty cool will never beat steam though.


I dont really think they are planning on beating steam, its just there to play some of your xbox games on pc.


I am confused. So you could put your xbox game into your disc tray of your PC and it would work? Or would it just be the Live games for Windows that share your Xbox Live account?

There probably will be, but we PC Gamers will avoid them.
