So stupid question: I went to go by Shipbreaker for 16$, evrything went through but I could not find the game in.y games & apps, I had to search through "all" and there it was, clicking it it said I need a game pass subscription to play.

Is this right? I have to have a sub. to play a game I purchased?

I got it refunded because I couldn't find a good answer.

Shipbreaker does appear to be an online on game. So you would need Xbox Live to play it, which I think is called gamepass core now. It also could have just been a sync error and needed more time to register your purchase? Howlong did you wait?
