paid for the season pass for minecraft dungeons, still doesnt show it being active in game

That's perfect then. Please sign out both on Microsoft Store App as well as Xbox App and then sign back in. After that try re-launching the game.

Can you please try searching the season pass on the Xbox App and check if you can see that you own the season pass from there?

I appreciate you letting me know and in this case, we may need to uninstall and reinstall the game.

just tried, it didnt fix it.

and it does show it being completed on my end

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

First, make sure that it's showing as "completed" on your end by signing in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders. Also, make sure that you're seeing "Minecraft Dungeons: Season Pass - Windows 10"

Once confirmed, repair the game by following the steps below:

Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > Search for the game > Advanced Options > Repair > Restart.
