How to play a game I own on new xbox

A couple years ago when my family just had on Xbox my dad got me sea of thieves, and I am still able to play it on that console. Now that I have my own Xbox I tried transferring it to my Xbox, but it says I don't own the game and has the "do you own this game or app" text appear. I was wondering how to fix this so I can play it on my new Xbox. My dad doesn't want to switch home xboxes because he thinks it will mess things up on the original Xbox.

Your dad Can. sign into his own account online to use his games

He just can't use it offline after a switch

If it wasn't actually purchased on your account, the only way to play it is through your dad or you'd have to buy the game for yourself or use Game Pass.

"How did you obtain the map originally?"

I've never owned this map on Xbox. I have owned this game on PS3 and PC, which is where I have played this game all these years. With backwards compatibility, I'm building up my Xbox library with some of my old favorites, such as Rainbow Six Vegas 2, so
this is a new purchase on Xbox.

If you log into the game to play Terrorist Hunt, nobody is playing Streets, probably because they are new to the game on Xbox, and can't download the map, as I have described in my original post.

Classic "look at this hand, not this one" tactic. A week before new xbox reveal EA bring this 'good news'. Yay.

Next week, no pre owned games on new xbox i.e. online passes obselete

This has made me think, what if this is indeed the case. Although it has already been confirmed that the PS4 will play used games so I don't see how this could benefit EA. Xbox users would have to buy the game new. PS4 users could either buy the game new
or pre-owned.
