Microsoft has officially announced that Xbox Live Gold will be free this weekend.
If you are still an Xbox Live Silver member, you’ll be able to experience the benefits of being a Gold member this weekend. The main benefit is that you can play online multiplayer modes of your favorite games.
Here’s what the official Xbox twitter page announced:
Xbox Live Gold will be free this weekend. If you are not a Gold Member, it’s a great opportunity to try multiplayer on your favourite games.
This is great timing considering Grand Theft Auto Online has just gone live. Not to mention the beta for Battlefield 4 will be up in time for the weekend too.
