Xbox Reverse Policy - No Price Changes for Xbox Live and Free-to-Play going Free

After a major wave of anger of Xbox’s decision to double the price of a year of xbox live earlier in the day the company has not only reversed course but promised to make free-to-play games no longer require xbox live gold.

Today was not great. We always try to do our best for you and today we missed the mark.

We hear you, and we’re reversing our Xbox Live Gold pricing updates.

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://t.co/tWomNAwmp9
