Earlier this week, it was revealed that a PlayStation Plus subscription would not be required to play in the Battlefield 1 Open Beta multiplayer. Unfortunately, the same courtesy has not been extended to Xbox One owners.
An Xbox Live Gold subscription will be required to play in the Battlefield 1 Open Beta.
@TatiMo_GZ Yes. You will need an Xbox Live Gold account to play Multiplayer during the Battlefield 1 Open Beta.

The Open Beta will include one map, the Sinai Desert map, which includes ground warfare, as well as aerial battles.
Two modes will be available as well:
Conquest:
- An all-time fan favorite of Battlefield players, Conquest is a large-scale game mode with up to 64 players fighting for the control of key objectives. With large armies on foot or behind the wheel and the addition of fearsome Behemoths, Conquest brings together all the elements of the signature Battlefield All-Out War.
Rush:
- A 24-player mode where the Attacking force must find and destroy the Defending force's Telegraph Posts, which can be used to call in artillery strikes. The Defenders can deny the Attackers their mission by disarming explosives they plant on the telegraph positions. Should the Telegraph Posts be destroyed, the Defenders must fall back to the next sector and protect the Telegraph Posts there.
Battlefield 1 is set to release on October 21 2016, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
