Xbox game pass not allowing access to games despite active subscription.

Game pass will allow offline access for up to 30 days, until it requires a 'handshake' with xbox servers to confirm an active subscription. Your xbox must also be registered as your home console for it to work. Keep in mine, that some games despite being
single player still require an online component and have no relevance to game pass ultimate.

Hello Joshua G, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

first Verify your Xbox Live Gold subscription To access multiplayer in Age of Empires III games through Xbox Game Pass, you may need to have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription. Check if your subscription is current and active. If you don't have a subscription, you may need to purchase one to access multiplayer.

y Restart the game and the Xbox Game Pass app: Try closing the Age of Empires III game and the Xbox Game Pass app completely and then restart them. Sometimes restarting the game and app can resolve temporary issues and allow the multiplayer option to be available.

Best regards.

Hi, 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.

Do you have an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, Kassietorien? In playing multiplayer games, an active subscription is required. Since your settings are all set to allow that’s what we need to check next.

Hello Eyal Y, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Yes, it is possible to play a game on Xbox Game Pass with two controllers, even if only one of the controllers has an active Xbox Game Pass subscription. The Xbox Game Pass subscription is associated with the Microsoft account that purchased it, so as long as the account that has the Game Pass subscription is active on the console, you can access and play the games available in Game Pass with any profile of gamer on that console, even with multiple controllers.

This means you can play Xbox Game Pass games in local multiplayer or co-op on the same console, using two controllers, even if only one of the profiles has an active Game Pass subscription. The profile without Game Pass will be able to access and play the game as long as the profile with Game Pass is active on the console.

Best regards.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues playing games online.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

To set your expectation properly, the subscription required to be able to play online games on the Xbox is the Xbox game pass core or the Game Pass Ultimate.

You should have one of the subscription active on the account because it will give you access to online games and multiplayer access too.

Please check subscription status, the Xbox Game pass core or the Ultimate pass subscription should show up as active on the account. Go to Settings > Account > Subscriptions on your Xbox to see if your Game Pass is active.

Thank you for your cooperation.
