Can't download 'Free' Games with Gold

OverhandBog13 · Feb 17, 2017

Hi

I am the parent profile on xBox 360 & my son is the child profile. I loaded a Gold voucher onto his profile to enable him to play live games like MInecraft as well as get the 'free' games with Gold. When I log in on my PC I am able to see that the games
are available from both of our profiles but can't download it from either of our profiles on my Windows PC - I get an error from both profiles saying I have to download it from the xBox consol. However I can't find the games anywhere from either of our profiles.

Please advise what the process is to successfully download the 'free' games with Gold.

Thanks

:)

Hi,

So you should try from the console with your child account as he his the owner of the Gold subscription, the Games with Gold are logically displayed from the console dashboard.

However, it also seems that the used profile to do it must have a valid payment option linked to his MS account, see

Games with Gold FAQ.

Hi,

I have been having trouble downloading games off the games with gold website for almost a year now. I find it works better in Internet Explorer instead of the more popular and less rapey browser Chrome. No Internet Explorer; I do
not want to install Bing, Maps and Edge, and no I don't want to give you Amazon referrals...ANYWAYS...Try Internet Explorer. Try again the next day. Try the console. Try the mobile app. It usually eventually works even if it is ALWAYS a lot of work. Nothing
is free, including games we pay monthly for.

Cheers,

Jebb

I'm having this same issue. I just got it with the free games for gold and when I dry to download it, it keeps saying "can't download". I hope that something is figured out soon. It happens when I try to download the other free game for gold, as well.

Well, then that is a complete *** ... why do we have to pay for Gold Memberships when we can't download the free games ... Is there another way to download the game .. ?
