Ever wondered if you can jump into the thrilling world of Fortnite without an Xbox Live subscription? Let’s dive into this popular question and clear up any confusion.

Many gamers ponder, “Do I need Xbox Live to play Fortnite?” So, let’s get right to the answer.

Short Answer: Yes, but there’s a twist!

For playing Fortnite on Xbox, you indeed need an Xbox Live subscription. Specifically, you require Xbox Live Gold to play with friends or other players online.

However, the twist is, if you’re on Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, or Xbox One, you can play Fortnite Battle Royale or Fortnite Creative modes without Xbox Live Gold. These modes are free-to-play, and Microsoft made a change allowing these and other free-to-play online games to be accessible without needing the premium subscription.
