Microsoft reverses Xbox Live price hike, will add free multiplayer for some games – Yahoo Finance Australia
Microsoft won’t raise the price of Xbox Live, and it’s adding free multiplayer for free-to-play games like ‘Fortnite.’
In one of the first positive Friday night news dumps I can remember, Microsoft has not only reversed course on its poorly-received plan to raise the price for Xbox Live, its adding a treat. Soon, for free-to-play games (like Fortnite or Apex Legends), multiplayer access will be free, making the Xbox a much more attractive platform for gamers on a budget. Playing a game like Fortnite on PlayStation Network or PC has always been free, and now Xbox Live will handle things the same way.
