    Xbox offline games- games for gold problems

    What was the workaround? I'm curious because I saw this thread earlier and tried to recreate the problem - I took my console offline and started several games I acquired through Games with Gold. However, they all played fine.

    Anyone think $10-$15 for gold on PC is to high

    Gold is only required to play online on the console. It wouldn't cause you to lose access to any games unless you acquired the games through Games with Gold.

    Not able to get Bolt as Games with Gold

    Some games is not available in all regions. As the required licence rights was not acquired at the initial launch of the game.

    We are also not able to "claim" the Games with Gold game of Bolt in my country, South Africa.

    Minecon 2019 cape dissappeared from my Character Creator (Bedrock Edition)

    Was this acquired through mod? Because most capes are acquired through mods and others are acquired through events. It may or may not be available once you buy the game depending on how you acquired the cape.

    I got a Game for free from Xbox Live Games With Gold but it doesnt show up that i bought it

    Hi, I don't believe that Games with Gold will show up in your order history, but the ones you have acquired for Xbox One should show up on your "My Games" page
    within the Xbox One section.

    As previously mentioned, if you got an Xbox One game through the Games with Gold, that game would be yours to play while your Xbox Live Gold subscription remains active, but you wouldn't be able to play it without an active subscription. (Xbox 360 and original
    Xbox games acquired through Games with Gold, on the other hand, are yours to keep even if the subscription expires.)
