Jacob Pauls · Feb 5, 2024

I own games diagonally and on disc and i do not have game pass anymore but i have owned these games prior to having game pass and i cant play any of them and it says i need game pass but i own the games and i have looked through all these forms and tried everything that they have said to do and still nothing has changed . I need some help ! Is there some way Microsoft can fix this problem bc i havent been able to play these games for months

So the games i own and see the issue in is gta V , rainbow six siege , black ops two , minecraft , ect. Two of those i own on disc and the other one digitally and whenever i put the disc in and get into the game it like ad walls me with game pass like forcing me to try and buy it when i already own the game . My live pass is still good , also when i try and play some of those games i cant even play offline or online it doesnt let me do anything i just get like ad walled by the game pass

Hello, Jacob P. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Could you mention the name of the affected games?

Additionally, may I know if you're trying to access online features in those games, like joining to a multi-player lobby?

This question is asked because on consoles (regardless of the system) most of the paid games, like Minecraft, FC24, GTA V, etc. require having an active Game Pass Core or Ultimate subscription to access online features.

It is critical to note that Live Gold is not required for free games like Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, Halo Infinite multiplayer, etc.

Moreover, below is a similar thread where you can review the same information:

I'll look forward to hearing your answers.

None of these games have been games with gold, and are game pass games

If you have not purchased them you can't play them without Game Pass

If you do own them, you need to reinstall them to remove the GP flagging

The games aren't made free by having Game Pass. Game Pass just gives you the ability to play the game without purchasing them (kind of like Netflix). The games will still have the option to purchase them because some people may not keep Game Pass or they'll own the game so if it leaves Game Pass they can keep playing them.
