“looks like you need to renew Xbox game pass”

Hello Misledzulu,

I'm Nilay and I'll be glad to answer your query today.

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.

Try and uninstall the game then put your disc in to reinstall the game!

If this doesn't work, try contacting Minecraft support!

Good Luck
Regards

Hello XXsomniX, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If you are experiencing problems with your Xbox games and receive a message that you need to renew Xbox Game Pass, even though some of the games are not part of Game Pass, here are some suggestions that might help you solve this problem:

Check your Xbox Game Pass subscription: Make sure your Xbox Game Pass subscription is active and in good standing. Sign in to your Microsoft account on the official Xbox website and check your subscription details to confirm it is valid. If your subscription has expired or there is a problem with it, you may not be able to access certain games.

Check the game license: If some of your games are not working and you receive the Game Pass renewal message, check the license of those games. Make sure you have the appropriate licenses for those games, either through individual purchase or through a specific subscription or season pass. If you don't have the correct license, you may not be able to play those games.

Update your games: Make sure all your games are updated to the latest version. Updates may include bug fixes and performance improvements that may resolve operational issues. Check to see if updates are available for non-working games and download them if necessary.

Reset your console: If the steps above do not resolve the issue, you can try resetting your Xbox console to factory settings. Please note that this will erase all data and settings on the console, so it is recommended to back up your important data before performing this step. A factory reset can fix persistent issues related to your console software.

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

Best regards.

Did you own game before joining game pass??? If not and you got it from game pass you will have to renew to gain access to play. If you bought it from store then i am not sure why you would get that notification.
