I keep getting "Connected Xbox Network Account Required" message every time I click on Multiplayer. (STEAM & Xbox PC Gamepass)

I have tried all the troubleshooting tips I can find and nothing ends up working, it's happening on both Steam and PC Gamepass, is anyone else experiencing this message?

This is happening to me on Xbox Series X and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

I am getting exactly the same problem on Series X and cloud. My Xbox account is logged in (correct profile showing at the top right) but I get this message everytime i click Multiplayer. Have tried "quitting" the game from Xbox home to remove any quick resume problems....have tried reinstalling...all to no avail 

Grounded 1 works fine ... just Grounded 2 is screwed for me at the moment. I have two very frustrated boys that cannot play together

Can confirm getting the same issue both before and after hotfix on pc steam version. Have tried everything mentioned above, have also followed the Gaming Services repair instructions for the hotfix issue in case it was related but no change.
