My son has an Xbox 360 and wants to play Minecraft but the salesperson said he need to have Xbox live (issued in the country where he is) before he can play. Anyone please enlighten me about this?
Best Answer
If you want to play online, you need to have a Xbox Live Gold account, which is a paid subscription.
If not, the normal Xbox live (silver) account (which is free) is enough to play singleplayer.
