Microsoft confirms 12-month Xbox Live Gold subscriptions are now no longer available on its online store
Is the Xbox Live Gold service 🐟abo꧟ut to be significantly overhauled or removed entirely?

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft has wi💎thdrawn 12-month Xbox Live subscriptions from sale in its Microsoft stores.
While codes are still av﷽ailable via third-party retailers elsewhere, the option to buy the 12-month subscription plan – which offered the best value to players – was digitally delisted without notification, prompting some to presume it was made in error.
Now, howevౠer, Microsoft has confirmed the removal of the year-long plans from sale was not accidental, kicking off a flurry of speculation that the Xbox Live Gold service – which spans two generations of Xbox consoles – is either going to be significantly changed or removed entirely with the arrival of next-gen.
While the company wouldn't be drawn on why the subscription had been withdrawn, a Microsoft spokesperson told : "🅘At this time, Xbox has decided to remove the 12 months Xbox Live Gold SKU from the Microsoft online Store. Customers can still sign up for a 🤪one month or three month Xbox Live Gold subscription online through the Microsoft Store."
Speculation is now rife that the subscription service is being phased out as Xbox ramps up support of its Xbox Game Pass and xCloud streaming services, the latter of which will join the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription bundle in September at no additional cost to subscribers.
Microsoft is also no longer making the Xbox One X or the Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. In the lead-up to starting its next generation with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X, Microsoft confirmed that it will no longer manufacture two out of the three systems that make up the current Xbox One family. The standard Xbox One S, which is distinguished from the All-Digital Edition by its inclusion♔ of a Blu-ray drive and higher price, is the only one sticking around for the time being.
"As we ramp into the future with Xbox Series X, we're taking t✨he natural step of stopping production on Xbox One X and Xbox One S All-Digital Edition. Xbox One S will continue to be manufactured and sold globally," Microsoft🅰 said in a statement at the time.
