how to play Rocket League without gold

Hi I am new to xbox gaming. I purchased a xbox one s digital. This will only be used when a Grandchild visits. I DO NOT want a gold or live subscription as this will be a waste. I DO NOT want to play online. I purchased Rocket League via the store and downloaded it. I now find I have to have a subscription to play the game. Can any one advise what I can do, is this the case with all games. Thanks Lorraine
The Gold subscription is only for playing multiplayer (online games against other players) Some games do not have the single player type game mode and require the Gold subscription to be played.

There are a lot of games with single player experiences and games that allow Split-Screen local multiplayer without a need for a Gold subscription. 

According to the store page, Rocket League should have a local Split Screen option, that doesn't require a Gold membership.

Make sure you or your kid chooses a game mode that allows local split screen play. That way you won't need a Gold membership.

However, if your grandchild wants to play online against multiple other players, a Gold membership is necessary.

Hello, some games require Xbox gold to play the games such as Fortnite and in your case Rocket League. Where as some other games do not require Gold such as Minecraft. Most games which have Multiplayer on them require Gold to play the multiplayer.

The code that is referring to is a prepaid gold code you would have bought from a retailer.
