"Members will have subscription-based access to free games ranging from top hits to breaking indie stars." Yes, you read that right - a subscription will now be required in order to play free Xbox games with Gold on Xbox One, though Xbox 360 users will still get to keep their free games should they cancel their Gold subscription.
