    Downloading the game using the app


    I have purchased the Gamepass on 5th of this month and played Halo. And I pretty much enjoyed the game. Hence, I wanted download other game during last weekend, but could not. I do not know the reason but when I tried to download new game, the app automatically
    guide me to purchase Gamepass, which I have already did!!! So, I have checked Settings of the app to see subscription part and found a message saying that an error has occurred, therefore can not identify my subscription. However, when I have checked my
    purchase information in my Microsoft account, I could see that I have Gamepass activating. I could not do anything as it was weekend and NO OTHER MESSAGE was informed to me solution on such incident.

    I have contacted contact center of Microsoft this afternoon and asked what is going, and heard that the problem is already fixed, so I can download games. So, I glad to hear that and asked what about 2 days I have missed, which is asking for compensation.
    The agent plainly explained "Well, you could have download the games in other part of Microsoft Home Page, therefore I can not compensate you nothing"

    I could not find any solution to this problem in the App or could not talk to any one on the problem. So, I must be dumb to hear such response from the agent. I could not hear any word saying 'Sorry' or 'Apology' on the problem, but just go head play the
    game and no compensation at all.

    Is this how Microsoft train your agent to respond to customers? Treating customers like 'well, you guys are dumb, you should figure out the solution on your own~~ ha ha ha'. If not, I urge to train and teach your agents some manner. I am writing this in
    Korea and last name of agent was Mr.Bae. I was a head of contact center with thousand agents few years ago, and I have trained agents not in such way. If I would find one respond in such manner, I would fire the agent right away. Please do be aware of effect
    of viral strategy & marketing.

    Xbox Remote play/download

    Hi StefanŽonjić

    If you are using the PC or mobile Xbox app to remote play from your console and you start a game download, it is the console you are viewing, so it would be the console using the internet to download the game. The app does use some bandwidth to connect to the console (so you can view it) but game downloads are done on the console, not the app.

    Again, for example, if you are using the Game Pass app to remote install a game, this just triggers the console to download the game. Nothing is downloaded in the app.

    I hope that makes sense.

    Can i use the xbox app on a browser

    I'm afraid if you want to download games directly, you'll need to use the app. The Xbox App is perfectly safe to use. Windows 11 even has it built in.

    You only need to use the app to download games. It does not need to running to launch the games installed using it.

    There are two apps on your PC that you could, technically download games and app.

    There's the Microsoft Store app, there, you could download apps and some games, and the Xbox app, that you use for the Game Pass subscription games, or even those you purchased.

    Hi,

    The Game Pass App doesn't download games itself, it uses the Windows Store. The App just facilitates the game to be downloaded.

    Is the user account you are using on your PC set up as an Administrator?

    Being that the Windows Store does all the downloading, can you confirm if free apps and games available on the Windows Store can be downloaded on your PC?
