Currently, the list includes games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rocket League, Roblox, and Destiny 2. Brawlhalla, Warzone, It Takes Two, and World of Tanks are also making the cut. Xbox says the list of free-to-play games will be updated “as more free-to-play games are launched”.In January Microsoft announced plans to increase the price of Xbox Live Gold, but then quickly reversed its decision after fans expressed their views along the way. As part of its response to the backlash, Microsoft said it would be working on making free games available without Xbox Live Gold, prompting this announcement.
In other Xbox news, it was revealed earlier this week that the Series X and Series S will receive enhanced Quick Resume features in the near future, including the ability to view and delete save states in the user interface.
