DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 It is 100% free now, I have no Live or GamePass sub and I'm playing online right now in Forza Horizon 4. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Just tried Battlefront II and Titanfall 2 online, got online with no issues. This is the real deal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zero chance imo. 44m+ Subs for such a minor expense to Sony. Nothing will be changed, not until we see if this even moves the needle at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People are speculating this is a free multiplayer week/weekend thing to counter Sony's free multiplayer weekend this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Possible but I do believe the long term rumour that XBL Gold is disappearing and either being free totally or merged into GP Ultimate and when that happens I don't think Sony changes a single thing. If this is the end of XBL Gold it would really be stupid to do it without an announcement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Of course they are, it's the only way to damage control this. This was being reported hours ago, on a Wednesday... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hot Sauce 2,729 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 They said the other day that nothing was changing, so I'd guess just a free weekend thing. I'll buy the whole forum a year of gold if this is permanent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And there's not enough words to explain how much of a dumbass you are. Fucking "Craig" circled the planet in a days time, you don't think Xbox abolishing their paywall for online play would as well. Get real you fucking idiot. Edited August 6, 2020 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
