A user wrote the following message on the official Xbox forum:

I bought my xbox one and it came with Forza. After a month, my xbox game pass has expired and i’m no longer able to play forza, even if I’ve never played online and i own the game. I get the error message: sign in with the profile used to buy this game
and make sure your subscription to Xbox Live Gold or EA access is up to date (0x803f900a). Why can’t I launch the game???
