    Free Games Installing without me "purchasing" them


    Over the past couple of days, two games have begun to install on my Xbox One without me selecting them for installation (Destiny and Battlefield 4 Naval Strike). I understand that Destiny has a free trial, but to the best of my knowledge, Battlefield does
    not. I don't understand why these games are installing, when I never "purchased" them or even went to the store page to look at them. My console was off (in the instant-on state) and I do have the option turned on so that games and updates will install automatically,
    but shouldn't that only apply to games that I WANT to install? I'm not complaining about the access to free content, but I don't really enjoy my connection being slowed down because my console has decided to install items that I don't really want. Is there
    some feature or setting that I've missed that I can disable?

    :)

    Disappointed with 2011 / No More Release Date Buys

    [quote user="WarInDaTrenches"]I'm no longer purchasing games on release dates and
    will research them before purchasing.

    [/quote]You buy games without doing research and get disappointment in return...Shocking!!! Don't blindly go for overhyped annual releases, there's many other great games out there.

    do scores from magazine reviews matter?

    Almost all arcade games have trial versions to download for free before considering purchasing them. Though, retail games don't often have all demos.

    It sounds like someone else has your console set as their Home console. If you've had anyone else on your console, make sure they set their console as their Home console.

    you can pause the installations while you playing or choose to discard the games but if you getting it for free might as well just pause it while you playing & continue downloads when you done. as long as you not paying for it i wouldn't complain but if
    you are then u got some serious problems

    problem

    If they are the free Games with Gold games, they require a gold subscription in order to continue playing them for free. Otherwise, you would need to purchase them in order to continue playing without gold.

    strange DLC on market place

    the 6 free games (PopCap games: peggle, zuma, heavy weapon, feeding frenzy) were from EA Access. they were added to EA Access, and due to a glitch they also showed up in everyone's Ready To Install list for a short time. this was quickly fixed and anyone
    who downloaded them cannot play them without having purchased them or an EA Access subscription.

    PC doesn't recognize games from Xbox as owned even though i bought them.

    It'll depend on what games they are. Only games that support Play Anywhere will allow you to install them on PC without having to purchase them again for PC.
