Do I need Xbox gamepass to play on a Minecraft realm?

Which gamepass are you talking about

Gamepass for PC OR gamepass standard

If you are using gamepass for pc for access to Minecraft on pc and using the same account on console To share then no

As gamepass for pc wont work on console

You need gamepass standard or ultimate for console

If you want to share a subscription for both pc and console you need ultimate which includes bothpc and console titles

Another solution since pc doesn't need a subscription other then realms

Is buy Minecraft on pc and keep realms on your profile and buy gamepass standard for minecraft access on console or buy core and Minecraft

You need at least Game Pass Core to play online.

Hi,

I'M PLAYING ON WINDOWS 10. WHICH VERSION DO I NEED? 

You’ll need your subscription purchase to match the
version of the game you are playing. For example, if you bought Minecraft from the Windows 10 store, you'll need to buy Realms Plus for Minecraft.

Now make sure you have installed Minecraft on your PC, then go here:

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/realms-plus/

and click on "Get Realms Plus" at the top-right of the page.

Hi there! If you only have Minecraft Xbox One Edition, it won't work on Realms. You will need the single/self titled Minecraft game to play on Realms. More info here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-titles/minecraft-realms-overview

Hey there UpstageFlea3746,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the forums, it is not possible to access Minecraft Realms without an Xbox Live Gold subscription as you do need to play online on the Live servers to play with others.

This may be different on other devices, for example you would be required to have a Gold subscription to play on PC but you would still need to have a Realms subscription in order to access realms unless you have been invited by a friend who has the subscription
to their realm.

I hope this helps.
