Short Answer: No, You Don’t Need Xbox Live Gold
Good news, Fortnite fans! If you’re playing on Xbox, you do not need an Xbox Live Gold subscription to jump into the action. Fortnite is free-to-play on Xbox, and that extends to its online multiplayer modes too.
However, to download and update Fortnite, you’ll need a basic, free Xbox Live account. While Xbox Live Gold is usually required for online multiplayer games, Fortnite is an exception to this rule. Thanks to its free-to-play model, you can enjoy Fortnite’s Battle Royale and Creative modes without the need for a paid subscription.
