Microsoft has removed the option to purchase Xbox Live 1 year subscription. Leading to speculation that it will be dropped altogether.
Furthermore, famous and proven insider Klobrille has said, “that it’s not a matter of if, but when…” regarding this topic.
This rumor does not sound too crazy as Microsoft has also announced that Game Pass subscription will now contain Project XCloud; their streaming service. Hence, it really seems they are trying to integrate everything into one subscription.
As of now, Xbox Live Gold is also available with Game Pass Ultimate; costs 15 dollars/ month. As this is just an insider rumor, no official details are out yet; hence, we cannot tell what the structure and the pricing will be like. In fact, this whole rumor should be taken with a grain of salt, like the rest.
We can only be sure after the event on 23rd July. We have high hopes for Xbox and lately, they have been on a streak of good news. This move might give them the winning edge for the next-gen console race.
