"Need to renew game pass" message even though I'm trying to boot off of game disc.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

Kindly remove the disc on your console and then perform a powercycle on your console by following the steps below:

"POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

​​​

1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​"

After that insert the disc again to play.

It sounds to me as though your disc drive has not read the disc, hence why you get the message to renew game pass. try ejecting the disc, reinsert it, then wait 30 seconds for it to read the disc, then try starting the game again.

I did that with Minecraft. If you try to launch it without the disc, it will say yoou need to renew Gamepass. Or If you tried to boot the game on disc and it asks you to renew Gamepass, then check the disc and try again.

My borderlands has been recently acting up and has been telling me to renew gamepass even though its on disc!

HI did you download borderlands from the disc or from the game pass store? try redownloading game from disc, if that dont work delete

borderlands folder and saves from harddrive and redownload from disc

Do you mean that you are unable to play the games that you own as physical discs?

Are / were these games also available with game pass?

If so, the console may be trying to boot the game pass versions and you may need to uninstall and reinstall the disc versions.
