Xbox gamepass games not working offline

I played Mud Runners, Gears of War 5, Blazing Chrome, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Streets of Rage 4, Forza Horizon 4, Ninja Gaiden II, Jump Force, F1 2018. All these games were on the gamepass. They all worked offline. Even during the lockdown.

The only games that didn't work was PUBG, Fortnite, World War Z did not work offline.

So can somebody tell me why everything stopped working and why can I only play these games when I am online?

This is really frustrating.

Actually RichardCano Gomez is correct.

I am experiencing the exact same problem.

I have Rain 4G Network. It works from 11PM to 6PM the next day. Usually when I come home from work it is past Half Past 6 (18:30). As long as my console was on standby during the day, I would be able to load up Forza Horizon 4 (from Gamepass) and play it.
No network required. Yes ArminatorX, you are correct provided that you have signed in atleast once a month and set your console to home. I usually used to sign in every morning before leaving for work, leaving the console on standby as I use a pocket router
and have to take it with me to work. When I do come home from work, even though the network was offline at that time, all I had to do was start my xbox up and load FH 4 or any other Gamepass game and it would work.

However for the past 3 weeks, even with me signing in every morning and leaving the console on standby. When I come home to play Forza Horizon 4 or any other gamepass games it simply hits me with one of the following messages:

SIGN IN OR RENEW THE SUBSCRIPTION - Sign in with the profile used to buy this game, and make sure that your subscription to Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or EA Access is up to date. (0x803f900a)

FOR THIS GAME, YOU NEED TO BE ONLINE - Use this Xbox regularly? Make it your home Xbox so you can play games you own, even offline. Next time you're online, go to Settings - General - Personalisation - My home Xbox. (0x803f9008).

I know I am signed in because when I start my xbox up after getting home my profile is signed in with my wallpaper and my apps and games.

I know my Xbox is set to my home cosole as the games used to work before.

I know my account is up to date because next to my gamertag it says Ultimate. So why cant I load up my Gamepass games offline like I used to do even after I signed in the same morning.

Where did you read in the terms of service that you can play Game Pass Games offline?

The closest thing I read about
offline play on Game Pass in this FAQ. Where it says that not all games allow offline play, and for those that allow offline play, you can only play them offline for 30 days.

As GamePass is a "rental" subscription, the games have to check at least every month if your subscription is still active and valid.

Otherwise you could join Game Pass, download all the games, set your console offline, and cancel the subscription. And since the console can't check if your subscription is still active, the console assumes that the subscription ran out, if it is offline
for a certain amount of time.

If you are talking about gamepass for console you need core or ultimate to play online

Gamepass for console is only access ro the games offline

Any online only games won't work without core or ultimatw
