Microsoft Might Discontinue Xbox Live Gold In Game Pass Service?

Subscription services are an important aspect for the game industry today. With surprising speed, Xbox Game Pass continues to grow with such a strength that made Sony want to follow in its footsteps with the upcoming PlayStation Plus.

Among other things, it looks like Xbox Live Gold, the paid subscription required to play paid online multiplayer games on the Xbox console, will soon be permanently merged into Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Gold subscriptions are already part of the highest Game Pass tier, but according to journalist Brad Sams, Microsoft is currently considering discontinuing Xbox Live Gold entirely and offering it exclusively through Game Pass Ultimate. This means that if you want to play paid games online, you must subscribe to Game Pass.

This sort of report has disseminated many times over the past few years that Xbox Live Gold will be permanently discontinued, although Microsoft has previously dismissed officially that the company has no plans for such a change.

It was also recently reported that Microsoft is planning to launch a family plan for Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. It should be interesting to see if these rumored changes are merged and introduced together as part of an upcoming restructuring.

In January last year, Microsoft overturned a decision to increase the price of Xbox Live Gold in response to widespread reaction, and also confirmed that the Gold subscription requirement for free-to-play multiplayer games had been removed.

Google also has similar services. It just never really took off. I think we are not there yet for game streaming.

I did try Google's Stadia trial, it works well.  But the issue is the lack of games cause you can only pay and play what they have in their library which isn't much.   Where as Microsoft's xcloud has a big library of games and best part it's all included.

Yes I agree the game selection could be the biggest factor when choosing such service. Xbox after so many years has a huge selection. They should acquire EA!

Man, this one is so tricky.  They already bought Bethesda, which has an impressive catalog btw, if they buy EA it's gonna be a duopoly with Steam.  As a Xbox gamer, love it but for the gaming industry it will suck.  Might be the end for Playstation
