Why does xbox keep asking me to choose a game pass plan when I’m trying to play rainbow 6...

Hello, DerenCazarez. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I would like to let you know that paid games, like the one you mentioned, FC24, Call of Duty, GTA V, etc. require having an active Xbox Live Gold (now named Game Pass Core) or Game Pass Ultimate subscription to access online features.

It is important to note that Live Gold is not required for free games like Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone, Halo Infinite multiplayer, etc.

Moreover, below is a similar thread where you can review the same information:

I hope you find this reply helpful to your inquiry. However, I’ll remain attentive to any other questions you may have.

Thanks for taking the time to read me,

Arturo.

My Rainbow six siege makes me choose a game pass plan whenever I load up the game and I cant even play because whenever I start matchmaking it immediately cancels it. I try to invite my friend but it just cancels the loading icon just like when I matchmake nothing works. Please help me

Hey did u find out how to fix it? Rainbow keeps asking me to get game pass and i can’t play the game even though i have a disc

Hi, Noah! Thank you for reaching out.
I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
I'm sorry you are experiencing issues playing Rainbow Six Siege.

With the exemption of free-to-play games like Fortnite, Warzone, Apex Legends, etc, all console games, purchased or not, require an active subscription to either Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate (includes Game Pass Core) to play online on the Xbox Network. This also applies to physical copies of games.

If you don't have an active subscription to Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, this would be the reason why you are being prompted to choose a subscription plan when trying to play Rainbow Six Siege.

To clarify:

• Offline/story/campaign modes can be accessed without a subscription, it's just online features that require one.

• Game Pass Core is what Xbox Live Gold used to be, it's just that It was renamed and restructured to offer additional services in addition to online gaming. More information on the transition from Xbox Live Gold to Xbox Game Pass Core can be found at: https://support.xbox.com/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/xbox-game-pass-core-faq

Please let me know if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help.
Best regards.

Rainbow 6 siege and I’m on Xbox
