I'm really surprised they won't just make multiplayer free. It would be a noticable feature in the "pro" column to make them stand out over PlayStation, and most of their customers just get Game Pass anyway. The reason Steam offers multiplayer for free is that their servers are funded by game purchases, and now the vast majority of console game purchases are made digitally as well, meaning their monopolistic storefronts can also justify providing that service for free.
