Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this PR0METHOUS1

Just to confirm, game pass ultimate appears active right now in your subscriptions page?

If yes. Please tell me what did you tried so far to fix this
In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

In the meantime try this:

1. Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.
2. Unplug the console's power cable from the console and from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes.
Important: Be sure to wait at least 5 minutes. This step resets the power supply.
3. Plug the console power cable back in.
4. Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

After that, try to remove and re-add your profile on the console.

In case you need it, here's how to remove and re-add:

Also disconnect your router from power for about 3 minutes. Then connect it again an when everything is working, try again

Gold is required to play online (which is included with Game Pass Ultimate. If the person you're sharing with only has standard Game Pass and doesn't have Gold/Ultimate, then you would need Gold/Ultimate to play online.

Core won't be released until September. Currently you need Gold (which will become Core) or Game Pass Ultimate to play online. It sounds like you bought standard Game Pass which does not have Gold.

Do you have standard Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate? Gold is needed to play online. Gold is included with Game Pass Ultimate, but not standard Game Pass. So if you only have Game Pass, you either need to add Gold or upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate.

I have a similar question...so let me see if I get this right:

If I have a console w/Ultimate game pass, I can have multiple gamer tags /profiles on the same machine using the same game pass

but

If I have 2 consoles I cannot share Ultimate game pass between them because of licensing?

Correct.

Game Pass Ultimate includes Gold. If you purchase that, you do not need another subscription to play Forza with your friends. If you were to only purchase standard Game Pass, you would need Gold to play online with friends (and it would be cheaper to buy Ultimate anyway).
