Did they change it so you need to be in the Apple Developer Program to access the latest Xcode beta version or GM Seed? Because I remember downloading Xcode Beta not too long ago. It says on https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/WhatsNewXcode/xcode_9/xcode_9.html :

Prerelease versions of Xcode are made available from developer.apple.com to authorized seed developers, packaged in a compressed XIP file.

Does seed developer equals being a member in the Apple Developer Program?

You may need a developer account to access the betas. However, you will not need a paid account. It is fairly easy and free to create a developer account and download the betas.

Creating a Developer Account

Create an AppleID normally at:

https://appleid.apple.com/account#!&page=create

Alternatively, if you already have an AppleID that you would like to create a developer account with, you can use that.

Go to http://developer.apple.com/account.

Log in with your AppleID. Follow the steps provided to create your Developer Account.

Downloading Betas

After you have created a developer account, you can download the betas from https://developer.apple.com/download/.

Make sure that you do not go to https://beta.apple.com. This is the public beta program and is coming in July, it also doesn't have the Xcode beta.
