PS Plus vs XBox Live

As I read, the ps4 version wont require a ps plus subscription. Is something like this coming to xbox or will we have to keep paying MS to enjoy PoE in multiplayer?

You can play without a premium subscription for either console. This includes using the tradeboard. But in order to play in a group / other people, you must have XBL Gold or PS Plus.

Will you need PS Plus for trading and inviting friends to a group?
No.

You don't need PS+ for groups.

I just read that. And in that case Xbox user are getting hosed... Because that is how it works for us. Sorry for the mis-information then.

Wonder if it will be changed for Xbox in the future.

The PS Store states you need ps plus for online multiplayer, downloading it now, I am curious if sony or ggg is telling the truth.
The Australian Store says "Paid PlayStation Plus subscription required for online multiplayer"

This is a display error which I'm working on getting fixed. PlayStation Plus IS NOT required to be grouping or trading on either region.

Is there a reason it would work this way for Playstation and not Xbox? Was there some back-end deal with Sony to allow this?
