Lost access to games that I had free with Games with Gold after not renewing Game Pass Ultimate

Thank you for taking the time to reply to this thread.

This has been set in this way for quite some time now. There is no exact date of when this took effect, but Xbox 360 titles have always been yours to keep upon download.

It is likely this is something that was configured shortly after the Xbox One console released. More info on this can be found in the

Games with Gold for Xbox FAQ from where the excerpt that Xbox Forums Ambassador SatanicoDrCadillac provided.

I'm sorry about any confusion or turmoil this might have caused.

As you have already been provided with the best response to this topic, and the fact that there is no further info that we can provide to you on this matter, we will now be locking this thread.

If you have any other questions or concerns that differ from this matter, please, feel free to create a new thread and we will cater to you there.

Thank you for being part of the Xbox Family and we wish you a wonderful day.

No, it has always been like it since the Game with Gold Service started

That's actually how it's always been. It's never changed.

Hi!

On Xbox One, you’ll no longer be able to access your Games with Gold titles if you cancel your subscription. However, if you decide to renew your subscription at any time, you’ll be able to access and play your previously redeemed
Games with Gold titles again.

On Xbox 360, any Games with Gold titles that you redeem as an Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member are yours to keep, regardless of whether you continue your subscription.

Make sure that you subscribe to the gold or game bass to play the game
