    Why is my Xbox choosing game pass over the game disc?


    Why does Xbox not allow me to play a game I physically own? I've had game pass before and had plans on purchasing it again in the future until now. I put the disc in (no, it's not an issue with the disc it's happening on every game I own), the game won't open. I try to open it from my apps/games and it says I have to purchase it thru game pass to play it. It only worked a couple of times by turning the console off for at least 5 minutes, powering it on, then putting the disc in. But that no longer works. The only way I can play the game from a disc is if I completely uninstall and reinstall the game which takes about 30 minutes each time. Why is there no fix for this? It's enough to make a preacher cuss.

    :)

    Why is my Xbox choosing game pass over the game disc?

    I have to uninstall and reinstall every single time I try to play a disc game. I'll do the uninstall/reinstall, play for a bit, turn the Xbox off, come back later the same day, the same problem pops up and I have to uninstall and reinstall again. I've tried going offline and it still insists that I connect to the internet and restart game pass to play it even though the disc is in the console. It's supposed to launch the game when you insert a disc but it won't do it, it keeps insisting I purchase game pass to play a game I own. This is happening on almost every disc I own. That's excessive, no?

    That depends, what games specifically?

    Some of them require internet

    when you join Game Pass, your games are flagged with Game Pass, and sometimes when you quit it fails to remove those flags, you'll need to reinstall the game

    IS GTA 5 AVAILABE IN THE SUBSCRIPTION OF GAME PASS

    Yes and games pass is brilliant with over 100 games to choose from.

    New type of subscription ... Rate the idea ...

    You really are fishing aren't you. Game Pass is great because there is an eclectic mix of games yo choose from. The very idea of Game Pass and Live as outdated is a tad off mark. There is Game Pass ultimate that is being trialed by the Xbox Insider
    Preview program. This combines Live and Game pass into one cheaper subscription service
