Assassin's Creed Syndicate Gold/Play for now or buy to own

When I got Assassin's Creed Syndicate on Games with Gold on my son's Xbox, it worked the way GWG always has, price was crossed out and it said "Free with Gold". When I got it on my Xbox it gave the price and said, "Play for now or buy to own". When I viewed
the game list before installing it said "Owned" but even now that I have it installed, it still says, "Play for now or buy to own".

Is this just a glitch with how it's displayed on my Xbox or am I somehow not accessing it properly? I don't gameshare with my son because my internet gets flaky sometimes and left me unable to play my games so we have separate Xboxes and Gold accounts.

Game in limbo between purchase and queue.

Hey guys I figured it out, and it's really stupid. So, in the Xbox store if you search for Assassin's Creed Syndicate, all that pops up is the Gold Edition, the Bonus Helix edition, and all the DLC. No base game right? Navigate your store to the Gold
edition and it'll have "This bundle includes: Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Assassin's Creed Syndicate Season Pass, Assassin's Creed Syndicate A Long Night, and Assassin's Creed Syndicate Huntsman Outfit.". Click on Assassin's Creed Syndicate under Bundle includes.
This is the base version of the game. The button that normally says Buy or Manage should say Install. Mine did. I clicked it and the game started installing.

I think it's just a disconnect because for some reason the base version of the game doesn't come up in the searches or the games list in the store, but if you manually navigate to it, it works. Stupid, but at least I'll be able to play this weekend! Hope
this helps you guys out!

 

requirement question

Does Assassin's Creed Syndicate require Xbox Live Gold to play the game even on disc? (help a brother out)

 

Xbox One GWG are only playable with an active subscription. So, you can play it as much you like as long as you're subscribed.

The 'Play for now or buy to own' isn't a glitch. If you bought the game, you wouldn't need a subscription anymore to play it.

Hope that makes sense.

 

It would if all of the other games I've gotten through GWG didn't say, "Owned" after I got them and "Free with Gold" before I got them. None of the GWG I've gotten in 2.5 years have ever said this so I was just wondering.

 

Xbox 360 GWG won't say this. These digital games are a truly a free bonus and do not require a Xbox Gold sub. They will not show 'Play for now or buy to own'
