And while some think this is a signal that Xbox Live Gold is going free, this is highly unlikely. Microsoft isn’t just going to throw millions down the drain. If this isn’t an error, it’s likely a signal at some structure change, a price hike, or the service being scrapped in favor of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate becoming the standard.
Are there any free to play Xbox games?
