Following yesterday’s announcement of changes being made to Xbox Live Gold and subscription services like Netflix and HBO Go, Microsoft has updated its Xbox Live Gold FAQ to address those seeking a refund.
Refunds will be available to Xbox Live Gold members who wish to switch to a Silver account now that entertainment and streaming apps are not locked behind the Gold paywall. The FAQ states, “Once the Xbox One and Xbox 360 system updates become available in June, Xbox Live Gold members who purchased a paid membership before that day can cancel and receive a pro-rata refund of any unused remaining days between the date of cancellation and the date their paid Gold membership ends. Cancellation and pro-rata refund requests must be made by August 31, 2014 and require six to eight weeks for processing.”
An update to the Xbox Wire post detailing the changes to Gold now includes an infographic to help explain what you will and won’t need an Xbox Live Gold subscription for come June.
