do i need to buy gamepass core to play multiplayer or not

Are you sure ?

Gamepass for console doesn't include multiplayer

Gamepass core and ultimate do

If you plan on playing online you need gamepass and core if you want access to gamepass games and multiplayer

Though with the two plans it's more cost efficient ro do ultimate

Now if the core and multiplayer access is al you need then the 11.99 core plan will do with the limited 25 titles

I think you are confusing gamepass for pc for gamepass for console

Gamepass for pc doesn't have core requirements since core isn't needed for pc since you have multiple free services

But on console you onlyhave one therefore MUST HAVE core to play multiplayer and ultimate if gamepass games and cloud is needed

I'm guessing since core .doesn't. have seige you got gamepass for console

You need to buy the game and no downloading doesn't count as a purchase

Then either get core or ultimate to play

Core only has 40 games and multiplayer

Ultimate has seige but includes multiplayer

Gamepass for console doesn't include multiplayer but has the gamepass library

Are you attempting to play regular multiplayer? Do you have gamepass core or ultimate? You need one of those to play online. Gamepass core is the equivalent of what Xbox Live Gold was.

Did you buy it om pc or console.

If console.and he is trying to play multiplayer he needs to have ultimate or gamepass core

You need either gamepass core or ultimate NOT gamepass for console to play multiplayer
