As Microsoft's Phil Spencer clarified to Joystiq today, the latest in a series of "Xbox One-80s" doesn't apply to free-to-play and subscription-based online games.

"Right now we haven't changed the policy on MMOs and free-to-play games," Spencer said.

Bethesda's latest MMORPG, The Elder Scrolls Online, will still require a Gold subscription on top of the developer's own monthly fees.

Free-to-play games that will continue requiring Xbox Live Gold include World of Tanks, Warface and Happy Wars, the latter of which lifted single-player restrictions for free Xbox Live members in January.
