XBOX Live Gold rates have been reduced by Microsoft after facing backlash

Microsoft has turned around its questionable Xbox Live cost increment. The organization declared a value climb on Friday that would have multiplied the expense of a yearly membership to the assistance, which is needed to mess around online on Xbox supports, to $120 for some clients. Presently, however, Microsoft says the cost will remain the equivalent.

Past that, Microsoft has chosen to align Xbox Live with Sony and Nintendo’s online administrations by dropping the membership prerequisite for nothing to-mess around. Famous allowed to-play titles like Fortnite are playable on PlayStation comforts and the Nintendo Switch without an online membership, however, you actually need one for Xbox supports; Microsoft says it’s “working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months.”

We messed up today and you were right to let us know. 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.

We’re turning this moment into an opportunity to bring Xbox Live more in line with how we see the player at the center of their experience. For free-to-play games, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold membership to play those games on Xbox. We are working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months.

If you are an Xbox Live Gold member already, you stay at your current price for renewal. New and existing members can continue to enjoy Xbox Live Gold for the same prices they pay today. In the US, $9.99 for 1-month, $24.99 for 3-months, $39.99 for 6-months and $59.99 for retail 12-months.

Thank you.
