Today’s change has been in the works since January when Xbox tripped over themselves when they announced a price hike to Xbox Live Gold. After a swift community backlash, Xbox walked back the announced hike, and also announced free-to-play games would no longer require a Gold membership. During the January announcement, they said it would take some time to implement the change. Today, that change goes live.
This also means folks can play Halo Infinite’s multiplayer without paying for Gold when it hits its expected launch date later this year.
