    How come I can’t play a game I have both on My Games and on Game Pass offline?


    I bought Minecraft digitally before finding out it was on Game Pass, I want to play it offline on my home Xbox but it won’t let me, telling me to set my home Xbox as my home Xbox. I tried with another digital game I own and that works, so I think it’s got something to do with it also being on Game Pass. Opening it while online then going offline seems to work.

    :)

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    We need to validate first if you own the game under the account that you're using. Please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and locate your game order for the game, it should be stated as "completed", let me know once you see the game order.

    Lost access to previously purchased games after cancelling Xbox game pass.

    No I'd been playing the game both online and offline for years before I even bought game pass. Because the game could also be played on game pass, when I cancelled my subscription, it must have thought that I'd been playing the game only through game pass. I'd rather not have to pay a monthly payment to game pass every month just to play a game I already had.

    Starfield Problems

    Whenever I launch the game it comes up with a screen saying “you are too early” and I can’t play even though I bought the premium upgrade and have the game pass version of Starfield and I don’t know how to fix it

    Xbox Live Console Question

    Currently Gold is required to play online in all games. They are working on removing that requirement from free-to-play games.
    I can’t play my ESO game because it says I have to have Xbox live and Xbox game pass but I bought both of those and it says I already have both of them but it still won’t let me play on Elder Scrolls On Line

    Do you think you can help me please?

    And I even tried to restart it as well but I still can’t play 😞

    Why can’t my child play multiplayer on Minecraft when I’m not signed in on the Xbox

    I don’t understand they both have their own game pass and can play other games online it’s only Minecraft that won’t work. They can host games and invite others they just can’t join their friends games
