Change folder when installing games on Win 10 using Xbox (Beta) app

Danish-Muneer · Jun 16, 2019

This is more like a feature request. On Xbox (Beta) app on WIndows 10, you can change the directory where games will be installed but can't include any folders. What I would like to do is have all Xbox folders inside D:\Games\ (just one level in). This is
very much possible with all other gaming services like Origin, Steam etc.

I know it's still in Beta, but knowing Microsoft products, if they don't fix it now, it would be nearly impossible to fix it later.

You dont as they are runed thru the xbox app not windows store

That doesn't matter. True, they are installed and managed by the Game Pass Beta app, but the games still install to the same hidden Windows Apps folder as standard Windows 10 apps.

To gain access you need to change some simple admin privileges.
This website explains how.

Hi there,

You could try seeing if you can install the Xbox Beta app from the store. Also check to make sure you're running an up to date version of Win 10, as the GamePass Ultimate is being rolled out progressively. Mine is 1903 18362.239, and I am able to use the
Beta app, and install GP games.

I suppose my post was confusing. I know where the Installer is downloaded to. It shows up in the Downloads folder for me. But when I open that installer, it will install the Xbox Beta App onto my computer. Where is the Xbox Beta App located on my computer?
