    Android xbox apps: open a game directly


    Hi.

    I am wondering if there is any way to launch a game without having to open the xbox app first, and then select the game you want to play. The question applies for in-home streaming and/or cloud gaming.

    It could be a shortcut on the android home screen (e.g. same kind of shortcut as when you bookmark a web page that would be opened by your default browser when pressed).

    Any programmatic solution would work as well, as at the end it is intended to be used in a custom android launcher which could be tweaks for xbox apps.

    :)

    Android xbox apps: open a game directly

    Hi Julien!

    Thanks for reaching Microsoft Community. We're here to help and let's work on this together.

    Unfortunately, there is no way to launch an Xbox game directly without opening the Xbox app first. The Xbox app serves as the gateway to access your games library and launch games. However, you can create a shortcut to the Xbox app on your Android home screen for quick access. Additionally, you can use the Xbox Game Pass app to browse and launch games available through the Game Pass subscription.

    Greetings,

    RodelioP.

    Hi, may I know why you're trying to run the game directly from the .exe file?

    As you downloaded the game from the Microsoft store / Xbox app, please search and open for the game directly from the Windows start menu

    Or open the Xbox PC app in your PC and open the game from there

    ERROR CODE 1170000 WHEN TRYING TO LOG IN ON ANDROID DEVICE.

    Are you trying to log into a game or the Xbox App? If you're on Android, and trying to log into the Xbox or Game Pass app, I'd recommend searching the store for "Xbox (Beta)" or "Game Pass (Beta)" and see if you get the same error there.

    Is the error code an Android system error or an App error you're getting? Also, can you provide the make and model of your phone and what version of Android you're running?
    It is an app error. Microsoft msge says to try again. Device is Nokia 7. Has been fine til recently. App usually logs in automaticallt when opened but now this error appears

    BF4 not looking so good?

    So is it kind of like the Cache that apps are stored in on Android for quick opening apps?
