In the days of Xbox 360, Microsoft offered two types of subscriptions: Xbox Live Silver and Xbox Live Gold. But today, Xbox Live Silver is known as Xbox Live Free. Xbox Live Silver or Xbox Live Free is free for Xbox users, and it includes access to downloadable content, achievement sharing, and chatting with friends. In contrast, Xbox Live Gold offers access to exclusive demos, member-only sales, add-ons, party chats, free games, and more.
