I have xbox live and gold but it still won't allow me to play with friends. Y is this

Hi Michael! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your online multiplayer error.

If I may ask, may I have the exact error message/codes upon attempting to launch an online game.

Kindly confirm if your Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is still active on your account by signing on to account.microsoft.com > services and subscription.

Note: Make sure that the active subscription is either an Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate as both subscriptions enable the online multiplayer feature. If your subscriptions are Xbox Game Pass for PC or Xbox Game Pass for console, I'm afraid the online multiplayer will not work.

If you have confirmed that you have an active subscription, perform a power cycle on your console. Here's how:

> Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

> Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

Then check if you will be able to play your Xbox games online.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

He doesn't have xbox live gold because he doesn't play on xbox. He plays windows 10 version on PC. Would him not having gold make him unable to join me but still allow me to join him?

Hi There,

Xbox Game Ultimate which also has Xbox Live Gold allows you to play online multiplayer. Game Pass by itself won't allow that. It might be more beneficial for you just to get Xbox Live Gold for the time being.
