Can't play xbox game pass PC games online

Barış Aksu · Mar 7, 2020

I've been trying to solve this about 2 weeks now, i contacted with the SOT (sea of thieves) support recently but it didn't help so much since i learned that it's about my own internet connection or something else.

The app runs perfectly fine, i can download games and play them if they are offline games unlike sot or forza horizon.

I tried to lower my modem's firewall to low, same with the windows firewall but these didn't work either.

For sot, while downloading it says servers are temporary unavaible etc. but things are different in forza, it just doesn't allow me to press the 'become online' button, not like an error or something which probably means something blocks me to get access
to the xbox servers.

Is there any solution for this? I'll be waiting for any suggestions, thanks.

There Game Pass for console, which is for the Xbox One and Series S/X and then there's Game Pass for PC which is only for PC. They each have a lot of the same games, just console vs. PC, and PC Game Pass does have less games than console. If you would like to play games on both the console and PC, then you would want to look into Game Pass Ultimate which includes Game Pass for console, PC Game Pass, and Gold (which would need to play online multiplayer on the console anyway).

Sharing through Xbox is not done the same way a Nintendo Online subscription is done. You can't actually share the subscription, but you can set a console as your Home console and other people who use the console would then be able to access online multiplayer (if you have Gold/Ultimate) and any games you've downloaded from Game Pass or purchased.

did you verify if you have any system updates for your PC?

Hello,

It's casual home internet with not so good 10 mbs download and 1 mbs upload. It's connected via ethernet. No it's not managed by an entity.

Hello Baris Aksu,

What kind of internet connection and upload/download speeds do you have? Are you connected via WiFi or Ethernet? And is your connection managed by an entity (like a university) or something similar?

I've updated it recently including java and abode player. Everything is up to date right now.
