To play Game Pass games offline, you must first designate your Xbox as your Home Xbox which allows you to share purchased games and content with anyone who signs in to the console with you. Additionally, ensure the games are fully downloaded to your device. Some games may also require you to start them online once to activate offline play. Check your settings to make sure you’re allowing offline play. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, check for any service outages on the Xbox status page.
