    To start, I recently tried playing Fallout 76, but was met with a no multiplayer privilege error. I had installed this game on a separate SSD which was a known issue, so I reinstalled on my C (OS) drive. I'm still having the same issue with it, however.

    Next, I tried to play State of Decay 2. I am met with a popup stating that my data cannot be synced. When I attempt to play offline, I am met with the "unable to initialize Windows Gaming Services" despite having offline play enabled.

    Another strange thing that happens every time I log in or visit game pages is a flickering popup. It pops up 5-6 times then disappears and the page returns to normal.

    I recently changed the email address associated with the account (old email account went dead after 10+ years), but that is the only recent change I've made. The only games I can seem to play are Metro Exodus, West of Dead, and FFXV (single player games).
    However, I would like to be able to play the other games with my friends especially since they are part of a service I'm paying for.

    I have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate but I can't download games

    I am also currently on the phone with a similar issue, I got the Xbox game pass 3 months for free with Discord nitro, I chose the Xbox game pass for PC assuming I would be able to play the games it has under the Xbox game pass tabs on my PC, but when I go
    to, for example, the Halo Master Chief Collection, it says I need the Xbox game pass for Console? and tells me I can purchase it separately.

    Zoo Tycoon - Which Game Pass???

    Thank you, this is what I thought, however Xbox Support via live chat confirmed to me that this is not on PC game pass which is why I am unable to download it from the store for free. They said the game is only available "discounted" on Game Pass for PC. Which is not what my screenshots indicate and is false advertising.

    Looks like you need to renew Game Pass. If your subscription is current, try quitting and relaunching the game.

    I own game pass Ultimate and therefore have access to play games on my Xbox and my pc. but recently it seems that if I try to launch a game on my pc it says I need to renew game pass. I know I don't have to renew it because I can play sea of thieves
    (a game I don't own but play through game pass) on my Xbox. but when I try to play it on my pc it gives me the message from above. I've looked through my account to my subscriptions tab on the Xbox app on pc. and it tells me I own game pass pc, but if I refresh
    the page it'll disappear. I just want to know if this a bug that would be fixed soon or if I need to rebuy game pass for pc. but for now I can't play any game pass games on my pc even though I own game pass ultimate, which is SUPPOSED to let me play game pass
    games on console and pc. I've tried restarting my computer, relaunching the game, going onto the Xbox console companion and then going to the my games tab. then I try to launch sea of thieves through there but it NEVER works. I tried this yesterday and
    thought maybe it was just a mistake with Xbox servers. but here I am a day later making this post because it still wont work.
    I've been having that problem a lot with Game Pass on PC as well. For me, signing out of the Xbox Beta app and then signing back in seems to fix it for a few days. Hopefully that works for you.

    I am unable to play games on the Xbox Game Pass (PC). It tells me game services are down, can't sync to cloud, or my account does not have multiplayer privileges.

    Replying with a fix that has worked for State of Decay's and the app popup issue.

    1. delete all games, the gampepass app, and the companion app.

    2. Redownload the companion app

    3. Sign in, sign out, and sign back into the companion app

    4. Redownload the gamepass app and sign in

    I think the issue was related to my account not being "signed in" in the appropriate places or their apps not communicating appropriately. Have yet to try on FO76 due to the large download, but I will update shortly.

    Update:

    FO76 now works as well. Kind of a strange issue, but that fix seemed to work. Cheers

    so i have a regular xbox gamepass on my console

    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.

    I'm sorry but if you're also on PC, you'll need to buy another PC game pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

    The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Live Gold (required to play online multiplayer on Xbox), Game Pass for Console, PC Game Pass, and EA Play (both for Xbox and PC).
