It's interesting, because there are no subscriptions as in there's no additional monthly fee to play Destiny other than the PSN and Xbox Live requirements of your console. However, if you look at the mission briefs on the beta only certain missions require Xbox Live gold. So it's possible that storymode will not need gold, however strike, explore, and the crucible will.
