    Why can't I play ultimate games on cloud gaming when I own them on the same account on console and have the subscription

    Hi Thomas T, my name is Marvina and I will be happy to help you.

    I'm sorry you have this problem, researching on the internet I was able to find that in the forum, independent advisor Derek recommends the following steps for a solution.

    The first thing you should know is that this is a public support forum for the Xbox community, which means that we are players like you, we are not employees of Xbox or Microsoft.

    Let's confirm your subscription first

    https://cuenta.microsoft.com/servicios/

    View your subscription here, what is the title of the subscription and what is the active date?

    Then take this test below please

    Open the panel by pressing the Xbox button in the center of the controller.
    Scroll right on the panel to the System area.
    Select Settings.
    Select the network.
    Select Network Settings.
    Select the NAT test type.

    Tell me what appears in this test, please

    I hope to be of great help to solve your problem.

    Marvina.

    On going strategy for two children and xbox game pass.

    Hello Glyn 580,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    Q1 - You have not messed up, you have done everything correctly. When you purchase games under your own account, you can share them with your children as long as they are in your family group and use the same Xbox console as you. This is called game sharing and it is a feature of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. However, if you want your children to own the games individually and take them with them when they leave home, then you should purchase the games under their accounts in the future. In that case, the other child would still be able to play the game under their account if they are in the same family group and use the same Xbox console as you, but they would not be able to play it on another device or console.



    Q2 - If your children want to play against each other on their own accounts, one on the Xbox and one on cloud gaming, then you have two options:



    A - You can stop renewing Game Pass Ultimate in your name and purchase it for your XX y/o, so he can access cloud gaming on the Chromebook. The XX y/o would still be able to play online on the Xbox, as he is part of the family group and has access to your Game Pass Ultimate benefits. You do not need to have a Game Pass account in your name for family-wide online gaming to work.



    B - You can purchase them a second Xbox, so they can both play on their own consoles and accounts. This would also allow them to play different games at the same time, or play together on co-op or multiplayer modes. However, this would require you to purchase another Game Pass Ultimate subscription for the second console, or set up one of the consoles as your home Xbox and share your Game Pass Ultimate benefits with the other console.

    You have many options to choose from, so you can decide what kind of gaming experience you want to offer. You can buy a different game for each device, or you can get them both an Xbox Games Pass Ultimate subscription for cloud gaming. It depends on your budget and preferences.



    I hope this answers your questions and helps you enjoy gaming with your family. If you have any other questions or issues, please let me know. Have a great day!

    If you own them they are on the cloud. is this the same account you had when you go those games. If so restart your machine and do a power cycle.. You mentioned years ago again I will reiterate if this is the same account information. Those purchases are
    attached to that profile/account If you own the games they will appear in the store as you own them. They just might not be in your library.

    Why do you need to buy game pass on Cloud Gaming to play games you own already?

    only games that are in gamepass are on the cloud gaming service, and only gamepass ultimate subscriber can use the service, it is not like nvidia cloud where you access your games.

    you can stream your games from console using your own console and your own internet.

    Xcloud does not take into account if you own the game or not, xcloud is a perk of ultimate sub only and not to play the games you own.
