  To bring Xbox Live more in line with how we see the player at the center of their experience we will be removing Gold requirements for free-to-play games. We're starting work on that immediately and will have updates in the coming months. Details: https://news.xbox.com/...

  Good on Xbox for reversing course on a horrible decision that went against their mission of connecting gamers. Still in 2020 I feel that Xbox Live Gold should cease to exist. But good on the Xbox Team for listening to the outrage & making the right decision. https://twitter.com/.…

  Xbox has announced free to play games will no longer require Gold to be played online and they have also reverted price hike. good work gamers https://news.xbox.com/...

  Update: Xbox not doubling Gold pricing, goes further and removes Gold requirement to use free games. Today actually ends up better than when it started for Xbox users so that's something I guess. https://twitter.com/...

  Oh ok this is good! Xbox really wants to make sure it avoids what happened at the beginning of the Xbox One. one really bad news cycle could sink things for the generation. https://twitter.com/...

  OMG they turned this huge L into a massive W. This is why I love Xbox man. @XboxP3 @aarongreenberg always listening and sending feedback back through the fans. And thanks to everyone who spoke up about this and asked for better. https://twitter.com/...

• @malekawt @malekawt on x

  Ok woah. Did not expect them to understand that quickly and work to reverse it immediately. F2P games will soon no longer require Gold, and the prices will remain unchanged for Gold. Damn. https://twitter.com/...

  This is maybe the fastest backtrack of an unpopular decision by a tech company I've ever seen. https://www.theverge.com/...

• @picklefish96 Elijah on x

  They literally did this as a publicity stunt so they could get praise. Look at everyone saying how good it is that Xbox listened. Makes them out to seem like good guys, when literally 12 hours ago they were charging you $120 a year for NOTHING. https://twitter.com/...

• @wario64 @wario64 on x

  Microsoft has backtracked on Xbox Live Gold pricing. There will be no price changes (12 months will remain $59.99, etc.) https://news.xbox.com/... https://twitter.com/...

• @riseofbacon @riseofbacon on x

  Even still, how does this make potential new Xbox players want to dive in. Especially with the Xbox S, a parents dream console package, now coming with a huge entry charge https://twitter.com/...
