You don’t even need Xbox Live Gold to participate in the multiplayer free access period, which will end on Monday, December 19 at 10AM PT.
Lastly, Microsoft is also discounting various Xbox controllers during its Countdown Sale. The standard black, white, and red controllers are down to $39.99 on the Microsoft Store, while the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is down to $154.99. If the Xbox Stereo Headset (wired) also saw its price drop to $46.99, the wireless version isn’t discounted.
