Hi there,
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this.
Could you please confirm which Xbox Game Pass subscription you purchased, such as Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass? It would also help if you could share a screenshot of the error message, making sure that any personal or account information is hidden.
Please also let us know whether the subscription is active on the same Xbox account currently linked to your EA Account. This will help us better understand what may be causing the issue.
Hello, im having the exact same issue and have contacted support numerous times, ive went through all the steps of making sure i have ultimate game pass, and clearing cache, stopping programmes etc. none of it works, i was told to contact xbox support where they told me its an fc26 problem, not with game pass, this is true because other game pass games such as it takes two and a way out can be downloaded without any issue. i am unable to link images in this chat but when you attempt to add fc26 to your library, it says "You don't have access. We've canceled the download because you dont own this game. To play, go to the Game Hub to get the game." when you attempt to download the game, it says "this game is unavailable. You're not eligible to play this game." Can you please try to fix this issue, its been a problem for a month now and i have spent endless ammounts of time on support teams. this is not an xbox issue, this is not an ea app issue, its not a login issue, its not a microsoft store issue, its an issue with fc26 and the link with game pass ultimate and ea play with ONLY fc26. Thank you

Hey aaronthomson123, I'm really sorry to hear that. Can you please share a screenshot of the error message that you get when trying to launch the game?

Hello, if you thoroughly read that message i sent i did include that i am unable to link screenshots, it tells me i don't have any permission to add images to posts. Also, i am not trying to launch the game, im trying to get the game from the store which should be no bother since its on game pass. Despite not being able to link screenshots of the error message when i try to download the game or add to library, i did write out the whole thing in quotation marks in my previous message. There is a lot of important information in there so if you could read my old message again and communicate with the rest of EA to fix the game pass entitlement with FC26, its been a month. Thanks

I understand that other Game Pass titles are working, but that does not necessarily mean FC 26 itself is broken. These messages typically indicate that the EA app is not detecting the required game entitlement associated with the linked Xbox subscription.
Unfortunately, we cannot access your account, verify subscription entitlements, or manually add the game through the forums. This would need to be investigated by EA Help, who can check the Xbox account linked to your EA Account and whether the entitlement is being recognized correctly.
When contacting them, please provide the exact error messages, confirmation that your Game Pass subscription is active, and any case numbers from your previous contacts. I understand that you have already spent considerable time on this, but this is not something that we can resolve directly from a forum report.
