    The games that require being bought or need games pass are not working.


    All (and only) the games I have that need game pass or need to be bought keep showing the error messages "The person who bought this needs to sign in" or "For this, the owner needs to sign in" the problem though is that the games I have are bought from me and I am the owner, I have reset my console (not factory) and re-logged out in and logged back in. I use a game-pass and it has not expired yet. The games that don't work are Battlefront 2, Minecraft, No Man's Sky, Sea of Thieves 2024: 2024 Edition, Grounded Fully Yoked Edition, Starfield, and Power Wash Simulator. The only one that does work is RecRoom and it works perfectly. YouTube also works. I would like to find a solution that does not need a factory reset, but if it comes to it then I will reset it. If you have a solution, or information that can help me please comment it.

    :)

    Paid for gamepass but not getting it

    If you bought standard Game Pass, that does not include Gold which is required to play online (except in free-to-play games). In order to play online, you'd need Game Pass Ultimate which includes Gold.

    Game pass

    hello and of course you can play all the game pass games with the game pass subscription but to play the games online you need the gold membership or ultimate game pass, being recommended to have GPU and PUBG unfortunately it is an online game that requires
    one of those two subscriptions

    Unable to play Game Pass offline

    Game pass will allow offline access for up to 30 days, until it requires a 'handshake' with xbox servers to confirm an active subscription. Your xbox must also be registered as your home console for it to work. Keep in mine, that some games despite being
    single player still require an online component and have no relevance to game pass ultimate.
