Xbox is now testing no Live Gold requirement for Warzone, Fortnite and more

Subscription won’t be needed for free-to-play games, Party Chat or Looking For Group

“We messed up today and you were right to let us know,” Microsoft said. “Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectations of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing.”

The platform holder also confirmed that it would be dropping the Xbox Live Gold requirement for free-to-play online games like Warzone and Fortnite, which are available at no extra cost on rival platforms,” in the coming months”.

That change moved a step closer last week as Microsoft launched the latest beta test for Xbox Insiders, which drops the need to have a Gold subscription to play free-to-play games, and to use the Looking 4 Groups and Party Chat features.
