Free Online Multiplayer Games 

Starting today, all Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S owners can play free online multiplayer games without an Xbox Live Gold membership.

More than 50 free-to-play titles no longer require a subscription to play online with your friends. 

The Current Update 

Some of the more notable inclusions on the list include Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, Destiny 2,

Fortnite, Roblox, and Rocket League. As part of today’s update, party chat and the looking for groups functionality are also available to that group of people.

Microsoft’s Decision 

Microsoft decided to remove the paywall requirement for freemium multiplayer games after it reversed course on an Xbox Live Gold price hike in late January. 

The Criticism 

Initially, the company had planned to double the cost of a yearly Xbox Live Gold subscription. Most Xbox fans criticized Microsoft for the plan, and it went on to quickly backtrack. 

The Company’s Reversal 

We messed up today and you were right to let us know.” the company said following the reversal. “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.” 

The Change In Policy 

After the episode, Microsoft said it would remove the Xbox Live Gold requirement for free-to-play multiplayer games and began testing the policy change last month.
