Thirlwell "Will certain Xbox One games benefit from free access to dedicated Microsoft servers? That's what some in the media are suggesting, but we've yet to light on a concrete statement to this effect from the manufacturer. Turn 10's Dan Greenawalt has muddied the waters still further, telling OXM at Gamescom that as an Xbox One title, Forza Motorsport 5 enjoys "great advantages kind of for free."
Turn 10 is, of course, a first party studio, but it's rumored that Microsoft has struck similar deals with third parties. Call of Duty: Ghosts on Xbox One will also run on dedicated Microsoft servers, "ensuring the best multiplayer experience will be on Xbox One", in the words of Infinity Ward's executive producer Mark Rubin.

Dedicated servers should be the norm for a top tier game.
Microsoft should of had most of their first party games dedicated anyways, just like Sony has for years for their first party games, especially considering xbox live has a premium cost to access it since 2001.
But it's great to hear that finally they will have dedicated servers.
One thing I would like to ask, does anyone know if the xbone accepts the use of dedicated servers other then Microsoft's dedicated servers?
