    "Add-on | Doesn't need to be installed" How to fix this?


    "Add-on | Doesn't need to be installed" But I payed for the add-ons. I bought the deluxe on Forza Motorsport, but the add-ons are NOT downloaded, and it doesn't have a checkbox to download it. When I open the game, it says it's already owned but I got none of the in-game perks I paid for. This is infuriating because I spent my money on something that I am unable to download. How do I fix this bug?!

    :)

    "Add-on | Doesn't need to be installed" How to fix this?

    Hello Maria Lopez4,



    Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    It is indeed very frustrating to encounter the error “Add-on | Installation Not Required”, especially after purchasing the Forza Motorsport Deluxe Edition and then not being able to get the additional content you paid for. This issue usually involves the activation or installation of the game's DLC (downloadable content). Here are some steps to resolve this issue and help you recover your purchased add-on content:



    1. Verify that the DLC has been properly added to your account
    First, make sure the Deluxe Edition add-on content you purchased has been added to your Microsoft account.
    Verify that you have a purchase history in the Microsoft Store, or check your order history in the Xbox app.
    You can try restarting the game to see if it triggers the download or activation of the DLC.



    2. Check in-game DLC activation
    When launching Forza Motorsport, it is sometimes necessary to manually download additional content. Check if there is an in-game DLC option:
    Open Forza Motorsport.
    Look for DLC or additional content in the main game screen or in the settings menu.
    If there is an option, see if you can manually launch or download the add-on.



    3. Restart Xbox or PC
    In many cases, purchased DLC will automatically activate when the game is restarted. Try quitting the game and restarting your Xbox or PC to see if it triggers the download or installation of the add-on.



    4. Check the download status of the add-on
    Check the installation status of the add-on in the Microsoft Store or Xbox app:
    Open the Microsoft Store.
    In the upper right corner, click on your avatar and select Library.
    Find the games and add-ons you've purchased and check their installation status. If they're not installed, try initiating the download manually.
    You can also try going to Settings > Manage Games to check if your purchased DLC content is listed and to make sure it's installed correctly.



    You can also contact the support staff of the corresponding game to find out why.



    Best regards

    Hi Bob! Let's work on this one.

    When you visit the game link below, does it say you owned it? Make sure you're signed in on the web.

    If so, check your My games & apps > See all > Manage > Updates – it may be waiting as an available update.
