Xbox game pass causing games to not work

DowningLiam · Jul 22, 2021

Hi there prior to getting the game pass for one month I could access online features on games such as football manager and rainbow six siege. I then brought the game pass and then when it expired the games that I owned that were on the game pass no longer allow me to play online. When I go onto the games and try to go online it tells me to renew the game pass or get xbox live. Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I still have xbox live and can play other online games such as rocket league and warzone without this issue.

Hi DowningLiam, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Just a friendly reminder though that free-to-play games no longer require an Xbox Live Gold subscription and if it's asking you to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or Xbox Live Gold subscription it means that you no longer have the subscription.

For you to check your subscription status simply follow the steps below:

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select System > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

You can check this link to see the games that you can play that no longer requires Xbox Live: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptio...

Well that sucks. Thank you for letting me know. I think instead of buying the game again I'm just going to buy the game pass cause it's like $1 for a month right now and I get a bunch of games. Also does Xbox Game Pass work with Game Pass PC (Beta) or
have any intention to work like that in the future?

Same issue here, it started when using Norton to scan Xbox Game Pass folders would cause a BSOD, now just launching some Game Pass games will cause BSODs.

The best thing for you to do, is purchase a PC Game Pass subscription. It will not cause any issues with you having Xbox Game Pass Core.
