''Looks like you need to renew Xbox Game Pass'' even though I never even bought game pass.

You may have obtained the game through a game pass because even if you own the physical disc game if it's not inside the Xbox the license can't be read which means that you need to purchase the game digitally.

Previously, you may have played the game through game pass or through game sharing.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Do you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription? It is required to have one whenever you're playing an online multiplayer game. To check kindly follow the steps below:

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select System > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

Make sure that you're also using the account where the game was purchased. To check sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders.

That may be a reason, however, you may need to check and validate your subscription as well as license for the game.

Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

May you kindly confirm in which part of the game does it require you to renew Xbox Game Pass. Some games may be purchased in Store but may require Game Pass for some features, for example playing online.

I'll have to purchase it sometime today then, thank you very much for helping me with the problem!

Yes, in a previous post on here I stated my Xbox laser does not read video games anymore so I've resorted to buying my games digitally. I went to the microsoft store on my Xbox in order to purchase the game digitally, but I didn't have to as it said ''Install''. I just checked it out again though on the store and now it's saying ''buy to own''? Also, do you want the error message?

''If your subscription is current, try quitting and relaunching the game, If you tried to launch this from a disc, check the disc-it might be dirty or damaged. (0x803f800e)''
