    Xbox One says I need Gold to play online when I already have it


    For the last few weeks, both my sister and I have been taken to a screen that says something along the lines of "Gold is required to play online"(or to an advertisement page for Gold) whenever we try to play any multiplayer games. However, we've already
    paid for Gold several months ago, and we're covered until March of 2019. I've checked my Microsoft account, and it says I do not have Gold, though it does say that we still have it on my sister's account - but we both still can't access the features. I've
    tried everything I can think of to fix the issue. I've tried resetting my console, removing and then readding my account to our Xbox, switching games, etc...but nothing seems to work. I saw that there were some issues with some of the Xbox services over that
    last week, so we decided to wait it out and see if things would return to normal. Everything seems to be working now on Xbox's side, though, and we still encounter the "Gold is required to play online"/Gold advertisement screen.

    It's beginning to get frustrating as we haven't been able to play anything for a while, and we haven't had any luck with solutions that have worked for other people. We would both like to not have our money go to waste. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    :)

    You still show as silver account only. So looks like something may have gone wrong.

    Xbox One says I need Gold to play online when I already have it

    ​Hi there,

    I see that you have tried some of the steps already but please the the following in the exact steps.

    First double check
    http://account.microsoft.com/services
    to see if the subscription is showing there.

    If the subscription shows, try the following steps

    • Remove profile from the console (Make sure you know the account credentials for the account, since you will need them later)
    • Perform the manual power cycle steps like mentioned on the following link, be sure to wait at least 60 seconds before powering on again:

      http://support.xbox.com/en-us/xbox-one/console/power-cycle-console
    • Redownload your profile

    ​ If these steps fail, then its best to contact Xbox Support (via Phone or Microsoft Support Chat) at

    Xbox Live Gold

    I'm having the same issue, it's been almost a week. Whenever I try to play online it says that I need a Gold Membership, but when I try to purchase a new month of Gold it says my account already has an active membership. I contacted tech support yesterday
    and after some back and forth the issue was resolved and I was able to play games online, but when I logged back on today the issue was back... still unable to play online.

    A Gold subscription is required to play online on Xbox. Since Fortnite is an online only game, you need Gold to play it.
    but i already have a linked account
