Microsoft spoke about the fate of Xbox Live Gold

It was noticed yesterday that Microsoft changed the name Xbox liveby renaming it “Xbox Online Service” in the user agreement. The network immediately remembered the rumors about the closure Xbox Live Gold and canceling paid subscriptions.

The platform holder made an official statement, where he said that he did not plan to make changes to the service yet.

“The line ‘Xbox online service’ in Microsoft’s user agreement refers to the core Xbox Live service, which includes features such as cross-platform saves and friend requests. This definition is intended to differentiate between the basic service and the paid Xbox Live Gold subscription. No changes will be made to the service or Xbox Live Gold. “

When asked about the abandonment of Xbox Live Gold and the possible introduction of free multiplayer, Microsoft responded as follows:

“We have no plans at this time to end Xbox Live Gold. It is an essential part of Xbox gaming today and will continue to be so. “

Interestingly, Microsoft dodged a direct answer to the question of canceling paid subscriptions. Journalists believe that the company’s comment can be taken in two ways: for example, Microsoft will not shut down the service, but will simply make it free.
