You have to buy xbox live gold subscription to be able to play xbox live like multiplayer and join party

Hello

Xbox Live Gold is Required for all Online Multiplayer Games on Xbox

The Subscription is not just for playing online it also for

Security

Maintenance of Servers

Party Chat

Deals with Gold + Bouns Discounts

Games with Gold

But I do understand it is free on other platforms that requires subscription to play online.

Hi, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Do you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription? Because to play an online multiplayer game an Xbox Live Gold subscription is required.

It is asking you to buy an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate because Xbox Live Gold is also included in the bundle but you can still buy the Xbox Live Gold subscription individually.

To check if you have a subscription you can follow the steps below:

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select System > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

What happens when you try and start a party, join a party, or join a multiplayer game?

Does it say you need to purchase the gold subscription?

Give you any sort of error message?

I started a party and invited my dad, it worked. I could play Online Adventure in Forza Horizon 4, but when I go to the Xbox Live Gold buy page it says to buy it, but on the family account on this xbox it says it is bought (My dad bought it in his account,
not the family account)

Hey there!

Gold trials typically unlock multiplayer for the game the trial came with, not full access to Xbox Live Gold benefits. If you would like to start and join parties, along with access to Multiplayer and Games with Gold, an Xbox Live Gold subscription will be
the best solution.

Hope this helps clear up the concern!
