DBD telling me I need Game Pass to play when I own the game already.

I digitally bought Dead by Daylight outside of Game Pass years before this, but it's making me get Game Pass to play it after I've gotten Game Pass once before for other games. I loaded DBD while also having Game Pass, and ever since that, it's told me that I now need Game Pass to play. I've digitally bought other versions of Dead by Daylight since to try to fix it, but it still gives me the issue.

You will.run into.the issue because it'd an online only game as per the description

The other players are the other characters including one which could be the killer

You will need core or ultimate to play it and any non free to play GAme that's online only

Game Pass Core (or Ultimate which includes Core) is required to play online with the exception of free-to-play games.

I have no clue! I bought the Starter Collection for PC from the Microsoft store. When It tells me I need to unlock the full game, it takes me to the Microsoft store where it tells me I already own the game, and yet when I go to play it, it tells me I need to buy the game!

When I try to play the game, it tells me I need to renew my xbox game pass. I think there is a bug that is causing this error, which does not read if you own the game.

Hi thank you for replying. Yes that was included in the trilogy I bought. I just checked my account purchases and it's definitely in there. When I check in the store on xbox it says it's included with game pass and next to that buy to own rather than the usual you own this and if I click buy to own it tells me you already own this. Also in the store under the trilogy where it says in this bundle everything says owned except the hitman 3 access pass: hitman 2 standard but if I click on it and press buy now it tells me I already own it but it just won't install. It lets me try to install maybe because it on game pass but it won't install.
