Cant download sea of thives on the Xbox game pass. Error code: 0x80073cf9

Aaron_H_C · Oct 29, 2022

Been having this problem for a couple months now and the reason I have not asked a question sooner is because someone said I should just wait for Microsoft to automatically fix this problem. The error code 0x80073cf9 always comes up when trying to download sea of thieves off the game pass as soon as it starts to download. I tried restarting my computer and reinstalling the app but it still doesn't work. Please help.

Reinstall the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10/11 device:
Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type powershell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and then select Run as administrator.
In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:
start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
Restart your device and try to install the game again.

Make sure your Windows Defender is active, that your Windows is activated and that the date and time are set to automatic.

I have checked that all of these settings and it is the same problem. I tried downloading from the Microsoft store and it is the same problem.

I believe there is a problem of the game itself to me and it happened with sea of thives, a couple of months have passed to unlock them
