Xbox Live Gold 2 Days Trial does not work

Hal1oRol · Jan 8, 2015

Hello,

a few days ago, my xbox live gold subscription ran out and I thought I could use some of the 48 hours gold trials until I'll buy another month/year of xbox live gold.

I redeemed one of the trial codes and thought it would work (as it always did).

Now the problem is: My Xbox One still thinks, that I don't have Xbox Live Gold (When I try to go to Games for Gold it wants me to buy Gold)! The connections to xbox live servers still work. I did even wait one day to make sure there isn't any problem...

What can I do? Do the trials just work for specific games (for example the trial for Titanfall)??

:)

2 Day Xbox Live Gold Trial didn't go through

Keep in mind that the gold trial does not change your account status to gold.

it may take some time for the 2 days trial to activate. Try restarting your console.

Trials do not change your account status to gold. They just give you access to some aspects of online multiplayer. You would not be able to download games with gold games with a trial.

2day trials would only be limited to certain games usually the one it came with

And non ranked matches or party chat

If you are trying destiny it won't work since the whole game is ranked and you can't party

Hello Cianka,

that is why unable to get the backward compatible games. They will not work with the 14 day trial unfortunately. In this link

describing Xbox live gold there is a section explains the trials.

With an Xbox Live Gold 2- to 14-day trial, you can get Xbox One Games with Gold, and discounted Gold deals.

If it was a one month trial you could get the backward compatible games.

Thanks,

Brad

Yes, you certainly can. The bottom of a 2 Day Gold Pass states the following:

XBOX LIVE 2-Day gold Membership, free trial allows access to these Gold features: online multiplayer gaming, Netflix, ESPN on XBOX Live, Facebook, free game demos, exclusive discounts, promotions and video content.

Free 2-day trial offer is only for use on the XBOX 360 and is not valid for current XBOX Live Gold Members. At the end of your 2-day trial period, your membership will default to the FREE XBOX Live Membership, unless you elect to extend your XBOX Live Gold
Membership.

Now what this doesn't tell you is that you cannot play in ranked matches with the trial membership, but you are free to play in social matchmaking playlists for games.
