Inviting friends to game

Pb_035 · Aug 12, 2022

I bought siege five years ago. The game has worked perfectly fine until I bought game pass. Now every time I try to invite my friends to the game that I own the disk for and have inside the xbox. The game will take me to a screen asking me to buy xbox game pass ultimate.

I think it's different for different games. It's not as easy as it used to be in my opinion. What game are you trying to invite people to? I know I had a hard time with Forza until I realized you hit the menu button while in the circuit select screen.

Thank you, turns out my Gold subscription had expired. I dont know why it asked me to buy ultimate and didnt tell me to buy xbox gold.

As Scratch says, it seems to vary from game to game. For Battlefield 4, you need to start a party and invite friends. If they're also in Battlefield 4 (in which case it becomes a Battlefield 4 party), when you join a game, it'll bring your party with you.
If party members are in existing games/lobbies, a pop-up notifies you that the party leader/member is joining a match and gives you an option to join with them.

That's great news, we were able to get into the issue and you're welcome.

It should give you two options, to buy an Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

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.
