Got gold but it keeps saying i need gold for something

Have you tried a
power cycle?

Sometimes, the Xbox doesn't immediately recognize an account upgrade to a Gold subscription - doing a power cycle will force the system to "refresh" to the current state of things.

Hope this helps!

I'm having this same issue. I just got it with the free games for gold and when I dry to download it, it keeps saying "can't download". I hope that something is figured out soon. It happens when I try to download the other free game for gold, as well.

Will u help me @AnimeMusicFan99 I just got Xbox live gold and whenever I try to get onto tdu2 it say please download the extra content of whatever and I've downloaded everything on that page. Then, after that it says you downloaded something that need extended
content please download it. Or something like that I don't know what to do. Will you please help keep!!!!!

Ive got gold and been wth xbox rewards since launch, im having the same problem,says i need to register and when i try it says need to be gold, been gold for 4 years...

So i recently tried to play some old games that I got for free for gold, namely Superhot and super mega baseball. I am not able to play these. When i try to play superhot, it says something on the lines of “The original owner who got this game doesn’t own
Game pass ultimate or Xbox gold anymore”. (Even though I have game pass ultimate and have had gold for years)

For super mega baseball 2, it says that I dont own the game and to go buy it from the microsoft store.

Anyone know why this is happening?
