The insider and writer Jeff Grubb said on Thursday (8) that the Xbox will end the Live Gold service. According to the journalist, the only reason the platform has not been discontinued earlier is that the Game Pass has not yet reached a specific subscriber target. THE Microsoft did not announce this change, so the statements are rumors.
during the show GrubbSnax, of the Giant Bomb platform, Jeff said, “I want to reiterate that Xbox Live Gold is hanging on a board of ‘things that are going to go away at some point.’ Live Gold will be dropped”.
Lifespan is still uncertain
Grubb claimed the end of service for the first time in 2020 after the leak of the just confirmed free multiplayer of Halo Infinite. “The online of Halo it only makes sense with the end of Live Gold’s barrier to at least free-to-play games,” he warned.

In April 2021, Microsoft reported that free games are subscription-free to play on the internet. The revelation came as an “apology” from the company, which released a monthly fee increase US — the readjustment was canceled 24 hours later.

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

“I knew this change would happen before the release of Infinite. I thought it was going to be for free-to-play games, as they wouldn’t charge online for Halo on Xbox when it’s free on PC”.
