 What Happened To Xbox Gold?

Description 

In recent days there has been a lot of buzz with the Xbox Live Gold service and there have been several changes. 

In this article we are going to explain what has happened to Xbox Gold , what new features it offers and what has been the commotion that we have seen on social networks.

To tell it briefly, there was an announcement of a price increase in this Xbox service, but a day or a few hours later they issued another statement denying it. 

More than denying it, what they did was a rectification to leave it as it was, But what was this due to? Let's see it.

Putting ourselves in a situation, Microsoft offers two monthly subscription services to its users, compatible with each other, and that offer different advantages:

• Xbox Game Pass : a catalog of games that we can play, either by downloading them or by streaming, while we are subscribed to this service.
• Xbox Live Gold : a subscription service that allows us to play games online and also offers us free games every month, which will be available as long as we are subscribed.

Now that we know what these two services are, we ask ourselves, what has happened to Xbox Gold these days? Microsoft announced through various means that they were going to raise the monthly fee for this service and that it would affect several countries, including Spain. 

A considerable price increase because it was practically double.

Before this news, the users rose up and a great stir was created on social networks, so vehemently that the official Xbox account ended up announcing this statement:

Today has not been a great day. We always try to do our best for you and today we missed the mark.

We've heard you and we're reversing our Xbox Live Gold price updates.

Another clear example that the community can have a lot of strength and get the big companies to change their policies and rectify some abusive practices against the user.

The Xbox Live Gold subscription is maintained and its monthly price will continue to be 9.99 euros/month and 59.99 euros per year .

The other big announcement that the company has issued is that from now on it will no longer be necessary to have an Xbox Gold contract to play free to play games online . 

Something that seems logical but that until now they were not doing it, thus abusing users again.
