Error code when installing sea of thieves not listed anywhere

Hi there,

did you have a look at this thread ?

Also the problem with the game not installing is only for sea of thieves but for other games they get installed but when I launch them it pops up with the error code 0x803f8001 while for sea of thieves it pops up when I try to install the game.

Absolutely! Sea of Thieves is on the play anywhere list!

Happy Gaming
