Looks like you need to renew xbox love gold

Hi,

An Update... I resolved the issue by going to the Windows Store and finding the Minecraft Launcher app and clicking Get instead of Play. After a small loading period, the Get button will disappear, and clicking Play magically starts working.

Hope this helps.

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.

Kindly uninstall the Minecraft launcher then reinstall it via this link clicking "Download for Windows 7/8": https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

I tried this and it hasn't worked

Hey there, sorry for the late reply - Holiday weekends are intense.

Thank you for letting us know what worked for you, its greatly appreciated. If you get the chance. If this occurs again, if you could share screenshots that would be awesome. If not, that's cool! I'm just glad you got it working.

Hello,

Might be some missing pieces here that may need to be clarified and given the age of this post, even if there are no replies from OP I will accept any from users having additional issues.

After Game Pass Expired:

• Did you purchase the games you wanted to play that you found from game pass?
  
• Was it just Game Pass or was it Game Pass Ultimate?
  
• What version of Minecraft?
  
• Have you migrated?
  

The reason I ask, if you were playing Minecraft because of Game Pass and then it expired you won't have access to the game because you do not own it. You would need to purchase Minecraft to access the game. It matters if it is Java Edition or Bedrock because the steps to rectify each one can be different,

Thanks,

John

I bought the game pass and installed minecraft from minecraft.net (i already purchased from microsoft) and since my gamepass expired it syas "looks like you need to renew gold". I never had gold and havent instaled minecraft through xbox. I reinstalled from minecraft.net and it still says the same thing when i try start it up. how do i fix it? also if theres a way to migrate back to mojang that would solve the problem and i wouldnt have to deal with the [mod removed] microsoft launcher.

Its absolute **** dude. I am having the same problem and haven't found a fix. For me it's literally all my downloaded Xbox games. I was trying to play Halo: The Master Chief Collection earlier and it popped up the same message. I don't purchase gold as it is, so it's messed up that they'd make us renew for something we purchased without the membership. Even worse that the "assistants" don't do ****. Wish I had gotten all of my games on steam instead of Xbox. Hopefully they give us a legitimate fix to this irritating situation.
