HI @ADFSDF1996!

Hey @ADFSDF1996,

on EA's side of things there's no need to have an XBox Live Gold membership, that's a Microsoft thing - same for PSPlus on PlayStation. So there's no pay as you play charge. You pay the game, Premium or DLC, if you choose to, and on consoles, you usually pay the monthly fee for online services.

Are you sharing your console with somebody else by any chance? There's a way to share the Gold membership on a console using the "home Xbox" functionality.
