Can't download 'Free' Games with Gold

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.

Can't download 'Free' Games with Gold

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

Well, what region are you in? Does your account region match your physical region?

If it doesnt that would be why

Your account region has to reflect your actual region

You are only garenteed gamez if you follow the international laws which govern content

If you are getting region errors it is because you are trying to get ocntent you arent supposed to

Like us content in france etc

I cant download any of the free games either. I have gold, but when I try to get the game it tells me to get gold or that I need gold. Why does it do this and how can I fix it??

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 re downloaded the DLC and my friends still can't join. Should I download the full game for free?

It should be showing an option to download the game and characters. Try downloading the game first (it should be free) then see if you can't download the extra characters from within the game itself.
