  1. Xbox won't let me play an Xbox Gold game even though I have Game Pass Ultimate


    It says that Ultimate gives you all Xbox Live Gold benefits but when trying to play a game from it after installing one, it says I don't have a Gold/Ultimate subscription. This happens to any Gold game I try. What gives?

    :)

    Help I am on a Xbox One and I can join a party but I can't play online I don't know why it's not letting me play online I have an Xbox live gold membership

    Just a friendly reminder though that you need an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play online, Jimmyworley1.

    It's either you will buy the Xbox Live Gold individually or upgrade to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

    The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Live Gold, Xbox Game Pass for Console, PC Game Pass, and EA Play both for Xbox and PC.

    What happens to my games with Gold that I have built up, if I cancel my ultimate subscription and want to revert back to just a gold subscription

    Nothing.You need an active gold sub to play any xbox one games with gold but not for xbox 360 games.

    Doesn't matter if it's just a gold sub or a ultimate sub.

    Even if you let either subscription expire you will still have the games,you just won't be able to play the xbox one GWG until you reactivate either a gold subscription or an ultimate subscription.

    Game pass ultimate subscription through code

    Xbox game pass ultimate comes with the Xbox Live gold membership so if that's your concern then if you buy the Xbox game pass ultimate then you won't have Xbox Live gold as well
