  1. Xbox not letting me play online gamepass games after signing in and trying to play on my laptop


    My fiancée and I play online together with me playing the game on my laptop and her playing on the Xbox. Been doing it for a while now but all of a sudden if I’m online on the laptop, it says she needs Xbox gold to play, while still saying she’s online. Then it does the same to me if I sign out on the laptop and try using the Xbox. Only way I fixed it the first time was through a series of signing in and out, power cycles, and deleting and readding accounts. But as soon as I signed back in on my laptop it went right back to not working. Non gamepass games will still allow online multiplayer.

    :)

    Xbox not letting me play online gamepass games after signing in and trying to play on my laptop

    I tried Fortnite it’s the only other online game I have, but I’m pretty sure it takes Xbox live. But it works still to play games online through gamepass, and my sub is still up to date. But when I switch back and forth from console to laptop it quits letting me or her play gamepass games online

    Hi,

    do free2play games like 4 Kings Casino work online cause they don't need a sub to play online ?

    Btw have you checked if your sub is still active ?

    Hello! My name is Ben a fellow member here in the community, not a Microsoft employee. Hope you are doing well!

    With regards to the issue, have you tried setting her console as the home Xbox using the account that has the Xbox subscription? If you signed in your account on her console and sign in to another device without setting her console as the Home Xbox, then that is where the issue might arise.

    You can try setting her console as the Home Xbox first aside from just signing in your account on her console. You can also follow the steps on this page:

    https://support.xbox.com/en-us/help/hardware-ne...

    You can only set 1 Home Xbox at a time and setting another console as the Home Xbox will remove the sharing from the previous device.

    Don't hesitate to post back in the community if you have other questions and we fellow members will try our best to help!
