    Can I install a non-Microsoft game?


    I own a game I bought from amazon digital store. I had to get a new computer very recently, but Microsoft keeps telling me it cannot install the game because it is not in the Microsoft store. Anything I can do to get this game installed? I did report to Microsoft that the game is safe.

    Sea of thieves cyanbeard error

    Yes, I can play both Microsoft and non-Microsoft games, but not in the sea of ​​thieves. And maybe it will be important, sea of ​​thieves is installed on Steam

    Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut INSTALL

    I have the same problem. However, when I go into Game Details to install the game the description is for the Games On Demand version of the game and not for the Director's Cut. If the 360 thinks it is the GoD version there would be no option to install.
    Eidos or Microsoft need to address this soon as this also affects the (non) ability to use the SmartGlass functionality.
