Game Pass Cloud games won't launch

FeChagas · Nov 5, 2021

I activated cloud games on my account yesterday, played one game, and today I can't open any cloud game. Those installed works fine, also I can download other games as well.

My connection seems fine, I played other online games I few minutes ago and just downloaded a game from game pass to test what I said previously.

Let's get into details: I'm currently playing Avengers, when I opened Xbox app and clicked on Play button, it didn't started the loading screen, then I switched to another game among the cloud games, it opened the loading screen (green rocket) and stayed there forever.

After that I closed everything, restarted the PC and tried again, nothing.

Opened the task manager, closed all Xbox related program and game service as well, opened Xbox app again, go to Avenger and opened it, the green rocket showed up (YAE!) but it's stuck there forever like any other game.

Anyone got the same problem? Any hint? HELP

:)

Have you checked that you have all Windows updates on Windows Update, including optional/additional updates?

Hi Samy, I'm doing great, better now you solved my issue.

I had a pending update for Xbox Game Bar among other things, I updated then all and is working again, thanks.

When you mentioned Windows Update I almost died here, I'm currently with a big issue with my updates and I'm procrastinating to solve this because I know I'll have to install a bunch of stuff. Anyway, thank you again.

Also, thanks for the info about the website to play on browser, I did know it existed but haven't tried it yet.

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

Have you checked that you have all Windows updates on Windows Update, including optional/additional updates?

Did you also check for updates for apps in the Microsoft Store? Open the Microsoft Store app, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner>download and updates and click on ''get updates''.

Reinstalling the Xbox app and restarting your internet devices can help you too and you can use xCloud at xbox.com/play

Hi, Aiden. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

I'm sorry, it is similar to the Game pass catalog wherein only selected games can be launched from cloud gaming. You won't get an option to access the games that you purchased on the native Xbox console through the cloud gaming list.

If the games aren't included with Game Pass Ultimate/cloud gaming, you won't be able to play them through the cloud.
