Xbox online gaming

If you mean playing PC games with Xbox capabilities (e.g. achievements, Multiplayer), then you do not need a Game Pass Core subscription to play on PC, as it's only for Xbox consoles.

If however you mean playing Xbox games on the cloud, then as Rodrigo stated, you will need Game Pass Ultimate to play on the cloud.

Hi Imran, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

No, to play via XCloud you need a Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

You can find the details here:

Hello, Imran. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Yes, that's correct. The reason for this free 3 month trial asks for payment details is due to every subscription that you want to acquire from the Microsoft Store has this requirement.

However, if you're eligible for the offer, during the checkout process, the system will tell you when you're going to be billed.
For example, you try claiming the offer today, the system will inform you that the next charge will be on 27 July 2024, etc.

Note: Most of the time, this offer can be claimed only by new game pass subscribers.

Once you have claimed the subscription, you can turn off recurring billing. That way, once the expiration date arrives, the subscription is going to be canceled.

I'll remain attentive to any other inquiry you may have.

Are you on PC or Xbox? What games are you trying to play online multiplayer on? Don't forget, you have to have a subscription to play online multiplayer on Xbox. Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate will give you access to online multiplayer on Xbox.

Its not a middle finger, because hes right.

WIth SO MANY ONLINE ONLY GAMES, you need to be ALWAYS online, because these always online games, are on the new xbox, then you need to be online.

If your not getting these online games, then you can just continue to use your xbox if you want TRUE OFFLINE, PS4 wont also be true offline, only on first party games, but every third party game, will mostly be online.
