Sidste år begyndte rygterne at svirre om, at Microsoft helt var ved at udfase deres Live Gold-program, og dermed gøre multiplayer helt gratis på Xbox-platformen. Det er ikke helt det der er blevet afsløret i dag, men det kræver nu ikke længere et Gold-abonnement at spille free-to-play multiplayer-spil.
Dette har Microsoft afsløret via et indlæg på Xbox Wire, hvor de forklarer sig således:
"Today, we are sharing more details on our plans to make online multiplayer in free-to-play games available on Xbox without an Xbox Live Gold membership. As part of listening to your feedback, this change will take place starting today, and all Xbox players will be able to access online multiplayer at no charge for a library of over 50 free-to-play games that support online multiplayer."
Det lader til at gælde for cirka alle free-to-play titler, og vil også gælde for dem der lanceres ude i fremtiden. Du kan se listen herunder.
