Free-to-play games are one step closer to not needing Xbox Live Gold

posted on March 31, 2021

Microsoft appears to be working through its testing for free-to-play games not requiring a subscription rather quickly. Just last week, Microsoft started testing the ability to play free-to-play multiplayer games without an Xbox Live Gold subscription with Alpha and Alpha Skip-Ahead Insiders. Now, the same ability is available for Xbox Beta Insiders.

Without the requirement of an Xbox Live Gold subscription, Xbox Beta Insiders can now play multiplayer free-to-play games and look for Groups and Party Chats.

The Xbox Insider Twitter account announced the news:

Attention Beta #XboxInsiders! Today we’re enabling Multiplayer in Free-to-play games, Looking for Groups and Party Chat on Xbox no longer requiring an Xbox Live Gold membership as we flight and test these service changes ahead of general availability.

— Xbox Insider (@xboxinsider) March 29, 2021

Microsoft first announced that Xbox Live Gold wouldn’t be required for free-to-play multiplayer games back in January. At the time, Microsoft explained that the change would come “as soon as possible in the coming months.”
