Microsoft gets rid of Xbox Live Gold requirement for free-to-play online multiplayer

If you play online multiplayer on free-to-play games on the Xbox, you will no longer need an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Microsoft announced that over 50 free-to-play games will be accessible to you without needing that membership. These include titles like Apex Legends, Roblox, Fortnite, Star Trek Online, and more. You can check out the rest of the games here.

According to IGN, Microsoft plans to add more games as "more free-to-play games launch." In January, Microsoft tried to increase the price of Xbox Live Gold, which the company reversed after fans voiced their objection. Because of that backlash, the company said it would make free-to-play games available without Xbox Live Gold. And so, that time has come for this free experience.

The Polaroid Go is the company's most compact analog instant camera

Polaroid shrinks its analog instant-film camera further with the launch of the new Polaroid Go. At only 4.1 inches long by 3.3 inches wide by 2.4 inches tall, it's designed to be, well, ready to go with you. You'll need to stock up on a new Polaroid i-Type colour film with the Go as its compact size means the usual Polaroid film won't work. 

The Polaroid Go promises a longer-lasting battery life. It also has Polaroid Now's dynamic flash and introduces double-exposure and self-timer options. Polaroid adds a selfie mirror to this camera, and it plans to offer travel accessories to go with it, too. The Polaroid Go is available for pre-order now at US$100 (around CA$125), with the film pack costing US$20 (CA$25) for a double pack with eight prints per pack.
