Some of the Games recieved from "Games for Gold" no longer allow me to play them.

I no longer have Gold but for some reaon a few of the games I got from gold don't allow me to play them.
(Unrelated but I think it might might help)
Some of the games are not viewable in my library and say that I have to pay for them even though I got them throguh Games with Gold.

Also Apex Isn't letting me play. I thought you don't need gold to play F2P games anymore. :|

And if they retroactivly remove access to all games aquired through Gold. It would have wiped out almost my entire game library. Not only a few games that I barely played :|

360 Games with Gold games can be played without an active Gold subscription. Xbox One games required a Gold subscription to continue playing them for free.

Currently, you still need Gold to play all games online. They are working to remove the requirement from free to play games, but you do need Gold to play Apex at this time.

Gold members are required for online games, and some games will periodically withdraw from XGP, which will cause you to no longer play the game

I understand that however, why does it no longer allow me to play multiplayer games? It did, until a day ago..... And I downloaded one of the free games with gold, like four days ago...

If you got the game from Games with Gold and no longer have gold you can no longer play it, however, if you resubscribed to gold you would be able to play it again.

gold allows you to play online, gives you some games (which they ses sess you forever but you can only play them while you have the membership active) and you get discounts from time to time

gamepass: you get access to many games of day launch (but no game is yours once removed from the catalog you will no longer be able to play it unless you buy it) and also gives you discounts on the games that are in the catalog and their dlc

as you will notice are different I recommend ultimate gamepass which is the union of both and pc, with all the benefits of each and at a lower price you pay them separately
