    To play this, the owner needs to sign in.


    I am trying to play Ghost Recon: Wildlands as i bought the game and installed it. However, whenever i attempt to it says "To play this, the owner needs to sign in." I have attempted to reboot the xbox. It is no problem with a disk as i bought it on the
    xbox store and i do not really want to reinstall the game unless i have to as it took a while to install. I played it this morning and it worked fine however now it won't work and i have no idea what to do. I have signed into my main account and have set the
    xbox im playing on as my home xbox. Help!

    :)

    Hello, we receive the following message when we try to play a game. ' To play this, the owner needs to sign in. Alternatively, guests can play if the owner makes this their home Xbox ( 0x8240007).' This message doesn't appear when we try to play other
    games. My profile is set to automatically sign on when the Xbox is turned on so we're confused as to why it's showing that the owner needs to sign on. Thank you!

    Hey Connor!

    For payment and entitlement related issues, it may be a good idea to get in contact with one of our support agents at

    https://support.xbox.com/contact-us.
    You can request a callback from there.

    That way they can go over the order history and entitlements for your account.
