I got Xbox game pass on pc and I cant play Ark with my friends even forza 4

Hello Danii,

Xbox live is a subscription service to be able to play online and chat through the Xbox app on PC, or the Xbox console. You can sign up by purchasing the subscription. There are two ways to purchase this, one is on the
website. The other are a digital card for Xbox live. This are a code that you redeem on your account that applies the subscription. They can be purchased most anywhere where gift cards
are sold.

Thanks,

Brad

I’m playing in pc and I don’t have xbox

how to get xbox live and is it free ?

Do you both also have xbox live? As that's required to play the games online with friends.

Yes but let me tell you something me and my friend we tried Sea of Thieves and it worked with us we can play online together

but Ark or forza we still can’t also we fixed our NAT type its open so no problems related to our internet

i don’t think that you need a subscription in xbox live to play online in pc

btw i can join online in forza and ark by my self without me buying the Xbox live

Thank you all for help it seems its a problem from the microsoft them self and i tried to contact them but no replays

im not super sure how well ark would would out for that since its available through steam that may be affecting the servers for it, although i could be compeltely wrong thats just my guess
