Do I need to buy xbox game pass core or ultimate to play multiplayer games even if I own...

If you own the game, then all you need is Game Pass Core to play online Multiplayer. If you play the game from Game Pass Ultimate, then you would need Ultimate to play the game, and access online multiplayer.

Are you trying to play online multiplayer? If yes, then you need Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (Which includes Core) to play online multiplayer.

You need Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate (which includes Core) to play Online multiplayer.

If you have been playing DayZ on Game Pass Ultimate, then when you downgrade to Core, the game is not included. You will either have to purchase the game, and then you will be able to play online with Game Pass Core, or purchase Xbox Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate to continue playing the game from there.

On another note, you do not need a subscription to play online multiplayer on the PC.

Hi Daniel! My name is Stephanie and I'm more than happy to help you out!

May I ask, are you trying to play online games on your Xbox console?

If yes, according to this Xbox article: (https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...ge-subscriptions/xbox-game-pass-ultimate-faq)

"Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes all benefits of Xbox Game Pass Core, which gives you access to multiplayer games on your console. (Free-to-play games include online multiplayer without an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription.)"

You will need to have an active Xbox game pass ultimate or Xbox game pass core to enable the online multiplayer feature and play online games. Without the subscription, you can only play your games offline.

There are certain games that don't have offline but online multiplayer only which needs an Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass ultimate subscription in order to play them.

Kind regards,
Stephanie
