Microsoft wants you to become Gold and gives you three free months with a year's subscription to Xbox Live

Payment subscriptions to play _online_ and have access to certain content is something that is becoming more and more fashionable. The fashion was started by Microsoft with paid Xbox Live for the Xbox and little by little it has been gaining strength among the rest of the companies Thus we saw how payment was made from PS3 to PS4 for example or as Nintendo has in mind for 2018 Switch OnLine.

It is something that many users, especially those on PC, don't like And they argue that to play on PC you can't require monthly or yearly subscriptions.Playing _online_ is free and so it should be on console. But leaving this war aside, the truth is that among platforms of this type it is Microsoft's Xbox Live that has taken the cat into the water.

And the fact is that to play _online_ on Xbox 360 and Xbox One it is necessary to be subscribed to Xbox Live Gold, a service that gives access in addition to content with promotions such as special prices or the possibility of downloading some games for free every month. Titles that we can play without having to pay anything in return, although they are usually titles with a certain journey.

A subscription that we can buy monthly or annually and that is not exactly cheap, something that has always raised complaints from the users. And it is that a year of Gold costs 59.99 euros, an amount that drops to 19.99 euros if it is limited to three months and 6.99 euros if we do it per month. Therefore, it is more profitable per year but pay 59.99 euros at once…

This has led Microsoft to try to boost the paid subscription with an offer that is sure to be well received by potential interested parties. A temporary offer whereby they give away three additional months when we purchase a one-year Xbox Live Gold subscription

So for 59.99 euros we will have access to a total of 15 months in which to be able to use the _online_ game and access the different promotions that are happening. A subscription that can be purchased from the Microsoft Store website but do not get lost, since it is only available until June 4

We also remind you that Xbox Live Gold is independent of Xbox Game Pass, the new offer from Redmond to access the payment of a monthly fee of 9.99 euros to a series of games that will gradually increase and in which there will be from Xbox One games to Xbox 360 backward compatible games.
