    DLC compatability with free games on the Xbox Game Pass for PC


    Hello,

    I recently installed Crusader Kings III on PC for free from the game pass, and enjoyed it so bought the recently released DLC for the game. The game is listed as owned and installed on my PC, but does not take affect in game (none of the DLC additions are present). I was wondering if this is a bug or if DLCs are not compatible with free games. I've reinstalled the game twice now and still no change. Is there some form of fix for this? If any more information is needed, please let me know.

    Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Normally, this should be a glitch since you can indeed buy DLC for free games too, and you shouldn't face any problem!

    However, I recommend contacting the support about it through Contact us | Xbox Support for further assistance!

    FM4 on Gamepass

    As Daft Badger explained above, previous Forza titles are delisted from the Microsoft/Xbox store, due to expired licensing for the cars and music in the games. The DLCs, add-ons, and the game itself are unavailable and would never be added to Game Pass for this reason.

    Currently, the only Forza titles available to purchase on the Microsoft/Xbox store are FM7 and FH4. Forza Street is available on the Microsoft store for compatible devices (PC, Android, and iOS, but not on Xbox consoles, unfortunately). FM7 and FH4 are free to play on Game Pass.

    Of course, you can still purchase FM4 on disc though. There are some pre-owned copies for around £5 (or local currency equivalent) on online retailers such as Amazon :)

    Also, Forza Motorsport 4 is not backwards compatible anyway. The game is only available on Xbox 360, and Game Pass is only available on PC (Windows 10), Xbox One, and Series X|S.

    Game Pass not working w/ PC App

    You might've bought the console version of game pass which is not compatible with pc. To use game pass on pc, you either need to buy the pc version, or game pass ultimate
    I have purchased the PC (Beta) Xbox pass.

    unable to access remnant 2 awaken king dlc

    Hi, Theminebroth my name is Oskayra and I'd love to help you to help.

    It sounds like you're encountering an issue with DLC compatibility between Steam and Xbox Game Pass. While DLC purchased on one platform should be transferable to the other, there can sometimes be glitches or compatibility issues that prevent the DLC from being recognized.

    Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    Check DLC availability on both Steam and Xbox Game Pass: Ensure that the specific DLC you purchased is available on both Steam and Xbox Game Pass. Some DLC may be exclusive to one platform or may not be included in all DLC bundles.

    Here's how to check DLC availability on Steam and Xbox Game Pass:

    On Steam:

    Open the Steam client and log in to your account.

    Go to your Steam library.

    Find the game for which you want to check DLC availability.

    Right-click on the game title and select "Properties" from the context menu.

    In the "Properties" window, click on the "DLC" tab.

    This tab will show you a list of all available DLC for the game, including the ones you already own.

    On Xbox Game Pass:

    Open the Xbox app on your PC or Xbox console.

    Go to the "My games & apps" section.

    Find the game for which you want to check DLC availability.

    Click on the game tile.

    Scroll down to the "Add-ons" section.

    This section will show you a list of all available add-ons, including DLC, for the game.

    Verify DLC installation: Double-check that the DLC is installed and activated on both Steam and Xbox Game Pass. You can check the DLC installation status in Steam's library and Xbox Game Pass's My games & apps section.

    Restart Steam and Xbox app: Sometimes, a simple restart of the Steam and Xbox app can refresh the DLC recognition process. Close and relaunch both applications to see if the DLC is recognized.

    Check for updates: Ensure that both Steam and Xbox Game Pass are up to date. Updates often address compatibility issues and may resolve the DLC recognition problem.

    Contact game developers: If the issue persists, contact the game developers for further assistance. They may have specific troubleshooting steps or insights into compatibility issues between Steam and Xbox Game Pass.

    Here are the official support pages for the game developers:

    Developer support for Xbox Game Pass: https://support.xbox.com/

    Developer support for Steam: https://help.steampowered.com/en/

    Oskayra.

    There is definitely gamepass for PC, but it isn’t available for xbox 360. None of the games on game pass are compatable with it.
