PSA: Xbox Live Gold Unlocked This Weekend On Xbox 360

Xbox 360 owners who don’t already have an Xbox Live Gold account will get a chance to try out the benefits of having one this weekend for free. The “Gold Unlocked” weekend starts on Friday, May 23rd, and continues through Sunday, May 25th.

Although the announcement specifically highlights online multiplayer gaming as the biggest benefit of Xbox Live Gold, other perks include free games in the Games with Gold promotions and reduced prices in the Deals with Gold sales. We’ve reached out to Xbox Support to find out if those are part of the promotion this weekend.

Microsoft recently announced that in June it will be dropping the requirement to have a Gold subscription to use video streaming services, such as Netflix and the Sky Player.

UPDATE:

Xbox Support have responded to our query and clarified that this weekend’s Gold Unlocked will only be “for multiplayer gaming and some select apps on Xbox 360”.
