    Why can’t I play my game even though I’ve bought it?

    If the game you're trying to play is an onli game, it would require Game Pass Core (or Ultimate which includes Core) in order to access online multiplayer.

    I bought a game and cant play why ?

    If you had redeemed the game appropriately, then it would be on your order history as well. If it's not on your account, then you would have to purchase it or play it off an account that does have the rights. I would suggest removing and redownloading your profile just incase the console is not recognizing your license information correctly.
