Multiplayer not working - You must log in to an Xbox Network account and have an active internet connection to play Grounded 2 Online

My partner and I are attempting to play multiplayer but she is receiving this error:

You must log in to an Xbox Network account and have an active internet connection to play Grounded 2 Online

We are in the same room with identical setups. She is connected and logged into her xbox account. Really need a solution to this please!

Same here. I'm on steam. It shows this pop up then shows "logging in" and then nothing happens.

This is happening with me as well as others: https://www.reddit.com/r/GroundedGame/comments/1mco6ya/i_cant_play_grounded_2_multiplayer/

 

I can also confirm that I logged into my PC Xbox App with my partner's gamertag, launched the game, and could access multiplayer without issue. So it does not appear to be an issue with the game or app but the Xbox account being used.

I am also having same issue.   Tried all usual suspects for fixing, ie restarting game services and redownload with no luck.    Help plz.   Was working fine 2 days ago.

I bought the game on Steam. It does not know what Xbox account I have because it does not give me the option to log in to my Xbox account.

It seems like it's happening to quite a few people, unfortunately it is not on their issue tracker yet https://grounded2.obsidian.net/issue-tracker
