4 Reasons to Buy Xbox Live Gold & 3 Reasons Not To

Buy Xbox Live Gold for the Best Community Experience

Two key features that make it easier to play games with and talk to people on Xbox Live need an Xbox Live Gold subscription: Party and Party Chat.

Xbox Live Parties are digital rooms where you and friends gather to talk to each other inside and outside of multiplayer games. Parties are the best way to communicate with friends on the service; text messages can quickly become a disaster.

Xbox Live Party Chat builds on parties. With Party Chat, everyone can send text messages and voice chat with each other inside a Party. Think of them as conference calls for video games. Xbox Live Party Chat is essential for team games that need coordination, like Halo Wars 2, Call of Duty and Halo multiplayer.
