    Can the Xbox Game App (PC) find already installed games?


    Hi all,

    I have installed some games on my laptop with the Xbox App, which I would now like to access on a different device, my computer. For that, I have already managed to move the games from my laptop to an external drive. However, when I install and open the Xbox App on my computer now, it does not automatically recognise the games, and neither can I find a button which let's me search for installed games or something, in the way you can do it on steam for example.

    Yea, so I wondered if you knew if there was a way to do this? The thing is, too, that as they are installed in this WindowsApps folder etc. I have not found a launcher.exe which would allow me to launch the games manually, you know?

    Any help on this is very much appreciated, thank you in advance!

    Error

    I'm assuming you mean the Xbox beta App, so you can play games on Xbox game pass for PC or Ultimate. You need the latest Windows 10 version to be able to install the app, there is no other way. Also that app is only so you can find and install the games
    from game pass easier. You can still find and download the games from the Microsoft store app, but they may not work without the latest version of Windows installed.

    It seems quite a few people are having this issue with pc xbox app as well as myself. This isn't a fix but until you can find one or microsoft fixes it, you can use this work around solution. If you have a smart phone or tablet, you can get the mobile game pass app. Use the mobile app to install games to your pc xbox app. On the mobile app just make sure you have PC games tab selected before trying to install the game of your choice to your pc otherwise it will assume you are trying to install to a xbox console. Hope this helps.

    Game not listed under installed in XBOX app on PC

    Hi there!

    Are those games already installed on your PC? Did you install those apps directly from the Xbox app?
