ONLINE MULTIPLAYER FOR FREE-TO-PLAY GAMES UNLOCKED
Effective April 21, all Xbox players can access online multiplayer for free-to-play games as well as multiplayer-supported free demos and betas at no charge.
To make it easier for everyone to find and connect with other gamers, we are unlocking two other Xbox Live Gold features, "Looking for Groups" and "Party," for all Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.
There is a rich library of over 50 free-to-play games you can download and play with all your friends, regardless of their membership.
