微软已经扭转了备受争议的Xbox Live涨价。该公司上周五宣布了一项提价计划，将该服务的年订阅费用提高一倍，许多用户需要在Xbox游戏机上在线玩游戏，费用为120美元。不过，微软表示，现在的价格将保持不变。

除此之外，微软还决定取消免费游戏的订阅要求，使Xbox Live与索尼和任天堂的在线服务保持一致。像Fortnite这样受欢迎的免费游戏可以在PlayStation游戏机和任天堂交换机上玩，而无需在线订阅，但Xbox游戏机仍然需要一个；微软表示“正在努力在未来几个月内尽快实现这一改变。”

以下是微软的完整声明，它是作为一篇博客文章的更新发布的：

We messed up today and you were right to let us know. Connecting and playing with friends is a vital part of gaming and we failed to meet the expectati*** of players who count on it every day. As a result, we have decided not to change Xbox Live Gold pricing.

We’re turning this moment into an opportunity to bring Xbox Live more in line with how we see the player at the center of their experience. For free-to-play games, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold membership to play those games on Xbox. We are working hard to deliver this change as soon as possible in the coming months.

If you are an Xbox Live Gold member already, you stay at your current price for renewal. New and existing members can continue to enjoy Xbox Live Gold for the same prices they pay today. In the US, $9.99 for 1-month, $24.99 for 3-months, $39.99 for 6-months and $59.99 for retail 12-months.

Thank you.

微软最近几年的重点一直放在Xbox Game Pass上，它有一个终极层，包括访问Xbox Live Gold。虽然游戏***为许多玩家提供了巨大的价值，但黄金价格的上涨是为了促使人们为更昂贵的服务付费。

最初的声明反响如此之差并不奇怪，但微软的逆转对于那些对Xbox Game Pass不感兴趣的Xbox Live Gold用户来说是个好消息，对于那些只使用Xbox Live Gold玩免费游戏的人来说更是个好消息。
