Can't play Outer Wilds with Xbox Game Pass (not showing up in search)

d3aley · Jan 1, 2020

I am having issues installing Outer Wilds (not Worlds!) on my PC. I have an Xbox game pass set up, but the game does not appear when I search for it in the Xbox (beta) app. In the microsoft store, it only shows up if I turn on
the filter for "console" games, and I still can't install it on my devices (PC).

Up until now I've had no issues playing other Xbox game pass games, such as Outer Worlds and Gears 5. I have the latest windows update installed and have tried all fixes with -wsreset and so on. My PC's region is set to UK.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

have you checked the subscription page on the microsoft store if you can download it from there

Yes, it says "Outer Wilds does not work on this device". Which is weird, because right underneath it is Oxenfree which also has the same prompt, but can still be installed via the Xbox (Beta) app.

Oh, I had no idea... The information out there is a bit misleading and made me think it's on PC, since it's on game pass. Thanks for the quick response.

Hello. the game is only available for consoles. I am sorry

The Outer Wilds is not available on the PC. If you search for it, the only version that is available is the Xbox One version. The game may be available to play on Steam or GOG.
