All Xbox Free Games You Can Play Online Without A Gold Subscription
I have been a PC gamer all my life, so I was surprised that console players had to pay a subscription to play online games. Xbox users have it easier than PlayStation owners as they can technically play over 80 free-to-play games online.
The company offers over 125 free-to-play games, but only a handful have online multiplayer. Out of these, the following games don’t require an Xbox Live Gold subscription. We have listed these games so you can play multiplayer games without issues.
If you are a PlayStation owner, you can check out all the free games you can play online without a PS Plus subscription.

Xbox Live Gold policy
Xbox deserves credit where credit is due, as its policy allows players to access free-to-play multiplayer games without Xbox Live Gold. Moreover, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can get the added benefit of Xbox Live Gold with various other perks.
The company has entirely removed the Xbox Live Gold’s paywall, but some games require it for premium multiplayer modes.
Xbox has not always allowed free-to-play games to be played online without a subscription. The company was even heavily criticized when it tried to increase the price of its Xbox Live Gold. Ultimately, Microsoft backtracked and offered to remove the paywall for free-to-play multiplayer games.
