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

[fixyourgameretards]

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?

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.

Yep, i made a ticket the other day. Still nothing. I've even tried posting comments on their social media posts to try to get this noticed.

Has anyone heard anything regarding this issue?? I just want to play the game

HereWeGo ........ After thinking about it, seeing as there are people out there playing multiplayer on Xbox...I think it's definitely an account problem. 

So setup a new account on your Xbox - 

1. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
2. Navigate to your profile and system settings.
3. Select "Add or switch" and then "Add new".
4. Enter the email address associated with your Microsoft account.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to sign in and configure your account settings. 

Make sure Ground 2 is closed down fully (not quick resumable) and then relaunch the game ... once there switch the profile to this new account you setup and bingo it should work!

I just tried it now and can access Multiplayer under this new account.........
