Fortnite - XBOX LIVE SUBSCRIPTION NOT RECOGNISED

Been on holiday for a week and come home to a well missed play. Done the latest update (playing on XBOX 1) and now when I try and start the game it doesn't seem to recognise that I have an XBOX Live Gold subscription, just take me to the screen saying
I need one. My subscription is good till April next year which I have checked by downloading one of this months free XBOX Live games. How do I fix this? Can anyone help??

Xbox live gold

Hi!

A subscription to Xbox Live Gold is required to play games online, so you will require an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play Fortnite.

 

fortnite without xbox live gold

Why Microsoft not make Fortnite without gold subscription like other consoles Playstation and Nintendo SwitchI hope you make fortnite without xbox live gold and thanks

 

I have the same problem too can anyone help mine expires in April too

 

I'm having the same problem. Just got my Gold subscription today and downloaded Fortnite. Now its asking me for a game disc or to check my subscription. I don't understand.

 

Hi,

Try this.

Remove your profiles and then after they have been removed, power cycle your console by holding the power button on your console for a full 10 seconds.

Wait a minute then turn it back on. Then re-add your profile.

The link below explains how to remove and add profiles.

Good evening

I had the same problem and it was solved with your advice

Thank you

 

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately it did not work for me

 

Same here, didn't work for me either.

I have a paid up 3 Live Gold subscription, but it keeps asking me to purchase another one.

Any other ideas?

I have also tried unlinking my EA account and re linking it, no dice.

 

Hi there OP,

Unfortunately this is an issue you will want to reach out to MS Customer Support directly to help resolve. It seems many others are having the problem as well so I am sure it is something they are working on however I would suggest speaking with them to
ensure they are aware.

 

Took a different approach this morning doing 2 things, not sure which one worked tho...

1. changed the payment method on my xbox live gold subscription

2. signed up for 14 day free trial of xbox game pass.

looks like the change to subscription caused Fortnight to re-check and download the subscription details.

 

Mine started randomly working last night. I turned on my Xbox and Fortnite wasn't working. Played a different game for about an hour then tried Fortnite again and it magically loaded. Idk how it got resolved ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
