Splitgate is a new multiplayer game that’s set to release on Xbox Live this month. But does that mean you need an Xbox Live account to play? No, not really. You can play Splitgate without an Xbox Live account by using the game’s built-in matchmaking system. Just sign in with your Microsoft account and you’re good to go. If you do want to use the Xbox Live service, however, there are some benefits to having an account. For one, you can join public games and compete against other players online. And if you’re looking for a challenge, signing up for an Xbox Live Gold membership can give you access to more challenging games and exclusive content. ..
