Xbox Live to remove Gold requirement for Netflix and Hulu

Late Tuesday morning, Xbox head Phil Spencer announced that Microsoft would remove these and other apps from behind the Gold paywall.

It's official! "Coming in June, anyone with an Xbox will be able to access popular entertainment experiences," says Microsoft, "whether or not you have an Xbox Live Gold membership."

All Microsoft apps, like Skype, OneDrive, and OneGuide, will also be available to all Xbox Live subscribers, as well as Upload Studio on Xbox One.
