Gold allows you to play online multiplayer, get weekly discounts on games, and access Games with Gold.

Game Pass Ultimate includes Gold but also includes Game Pass for console and PC Game Pass. Game Pass is like Netflix, but for games. You get access to a library of games you can play while you have the subscription.

Game Pass is like Netflix for games. You can play any game in the library without purchasing the games individually. There is a Game Pass for console and a Game Pass for PC.

Game Pass Ultimate includes both Game Pass for console and Game Pass for PC as well as a Gold subscription so you can play online multiplayer. Ultimate also gives you access to Cloud gaming and EA Play.

Xbox Cloud gaming allows you to sign into a laptop, mobile device, and the console, and play games without having to download them.

In short, no you don't need Game Pass to play it on PC if you have bought the game.

Game Pass (not the Ultimate version) has nothing to do with Multiplayer anyway as it just allows you to download free games etc. The Ultimate Game Pass includes Xbox Live Gold within it...however, PC players do not need Gold to play online. That is the biggest benefit of playing on PC, namely not needing Gold so saving money.

You need Game Pass Core (formerly known as Gold) or Game Pass Ultimate in order to play online multiplayer. Regular Game Pass only allows access to games but not online multiplayer.
