Xbox One let's me use Game Pass without a subscription

DavideNoise · Aug 24, 2021

Currently my Xbox One let's me play my physical games that are included in the game pass program without inserting any disc (thing never happened before) and in fact with games that are not included asks me to insert the disc or to verify the store purchase, furthermore i can go to the game pass tab select a game and add it to my download queue.

I've already checked my subscriptions and no, nothing is active and my last subscription is a gold expired in 2018, also i haven't any payment connected to my account.

I would like to know why I can use this service without having it, thanks in advance

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. I'm sorry you're having this problem.

It's really strange about this, given that you said you don't have any signature attached to your account, and you still manage to use it. Please check the website below, make sure there really is no subscription on the account, https://account.microsoft.com/services

*If you do not have any subscription on your account, please follow the procedure below to remove and add your account to Xbox, following the instructions contained in the link below.

*Problems like this can be happening too, due to problems that Xbox live is facing on its servers, you can check this information in the link below.

Hi Issac F! I hope you are well, delighted to be able to offer you my help!

Make sure you redeem on an account without an active Xbox Game Pass subscription. Accounts with an active subscription cannot redeem these trial codes. Note, Trial codes may not work if you previously had one of these subscriptions on this account.

If you have an active Game Pass subscription, it is impossible to redeem the code, let me know if this is your case.

Best regards,
Daniel.

Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your game Dead by Daylight. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

In order to play Dead by Daylight or any Xbox games that require online multiplayer, you will need to have either an active Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription on your account.

Both subscriptions enable the online multiplayer feature of your games. Without a subscription, you won't be able to play your Xbox Games online. Dead by Daylight requires a subscription since it is an online multiplayer game that requires an internet connection to play and has no offline mode.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

Hey maxsteel

As part of the Xbox Game Pass, you will be able to play any exclusive Xbox One games that are released, without having to purchase them, so long as you maintain your subscription to the Xbox Game Pass.

You can find this and anymore info you require by checking out the
Xbox Game Pass Overview on our site.

Feel free to let us know if you inquire anymore info!

Let me try and explain it a little better.

Gold subscription- Required if you want to play online multiplayer and do party chat with friends. Another benefit of a gold subscription is that you get 4 games a month for free now MS chooses what games those are and they are 2 xbox one games and 2 backwards
compatible games either 360 or original xbox games. The 360 and original xbox games you get to keep forever. For the One games in order to play them you do have to have an active gold subscription. Each month you can find the games with gold games at this
website https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/games-with-gold?xr=shellnav

Game Pass- Think of this like a Netflix subscription there is what is called a vault of over 100 games that as long as you have an active game pass subscription you can download and play those games. Just like Netflix MS does add and take away games from
this vault every so often.

You can have a game pass subscription without having a gold subscription you would just not be able to play the multiplayer aspect of any of the games on the game pass. and you can have a gold subscription without having a game pass subscription.

Hope this explains things a little better for you.
