Exclamation Mark on Games

StarfadeNB · Oct 5, 2023

Hi there,

I’ve downloaded a couple games recently that have an exclamation mark on the game tile.

I’ve read that this is something to do with licensing and me not having the licence to access the content, but this can’t be the case as the latest game to do this is Assassins Creed Mirage which I’m subscribed to Ubisoft+ for, but also I’m able to play the game no problem!

Are there any other reasons this icon could be showing?

Thanks!

:)

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your help. The game with the exclamation mark only is not on the gamepass anymore. So that's one question resolved.

But for the others with the disc icon, is there a way to not see this icon again please ? I think it's not useful as I play essentially physical games, so I know what game is in the console or not.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Franck, I’m Ryan. I’ll try my best to help.

Don’t worry, this is just because of licensing. The disk symbol indicates that the game requires a physical disc (so isn’t a game you own digitally), and the warning symbol indicates that you don’t have the licence to access/play the game.

Refer to this Reddit thread for more info:

Hope this helps.

So you’re saying that if I buy a used game from like GameStop or eBay I can’t play it because the license belong to the original owner? I bought a used game from GameStop and the game plays but glitches, for instance it don’t keep track for how long I’ve played the game, my achievements don’t pop up until I go to see the achievements and I can’t access in content 🤷‍♂️

Hi Sigma,

Thanks for your help.

Yes the game is not on the gamepass anymore. One question resolved.
