    Game Pass for PC (XBOX beta app) - All games have greyed out "Play" button. Though I can...


    Part 1: Issue

    My daughters game pass for PC account refuses to play any of the games that are part of the game pass OR games that I have purchased and we own outright. This has been going on for a few months now and the customer service provided by MS is some of the
    worst I have ever seen and offer no help.

    I can DL the games ( uninstall and reinstall) but they Play button is greyed out. A message appears stating this game is not available on your account even though the subscription is current and or I own the game outright. I am also signed into the MS
    store with the same account that I am using for the XBOX beta app.

    • I have uninstalled the XBOX beta app and reinstalled
    • signed in and out of the account both in the app and in the store
    • I have tried using the store only to DL and play these games and no good result.
    • She is a minor so I do have her on a family plan with all permissions for content and such set without limits.
    • I have removed her from the family account and set her age, which should I think allow her unrestricted access to her games. That did nothing so I changed it back.

    I have seen a TON of suggestions for what to do and I think I have tried all of them but who knows. Has anyone had a similar issue? Let me know if you can please. My kid would really like to play.

    Part 2: Customer service fun

    I will ignore the nonsense I have been through with the tragedy that passes for online support over the past month, and describe my interaction of the past weekend.

    On Saturday (11/14) I requested a callback and was told the wait was 90 minutes. Fair, the new XBOX is out and no doubt they are swamped I reasoned. Almost 4 hours later they called me to tell me they would not be calling me and to try again tomorrow.

    On Sunday (11/15) I requested a callback and again was told 90 minute wait. Eventually I was called by a live agent and we got to work. Needless to say she had no suggestions beyond what I have already tried based on what I could find online. After a hour
    and 20 trying basics and for some reason troubleshooting my internet connection ( I understand she is not technical and is just reading from a troubleshooting flow... still). She suggested I reinstall Sea of Thieves even though that was only one of many games
    that do not start and I had already done so as part of my earlier troubleshooting. She asked how long I thought that would take and I responded probably a hour because every game from the Microsoft store or the XBOX app downloads painfully slow. She then
    stated she would call me back in a hour and foolishly I agreed.

    In retrospect I should have known she had no intention of ever calling me back as promised.

    :)

    Xbox Beta App Error Code 0x8004E10E

    Hi Deigge,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help.

    Which beta app are you having issue downloading? The Xbox Console Companion App (Beta) or the Xbox Game Pass for PC app (Beta)? You'll need to have he beta companion app downloaded first before you can download the PC game pass app (beta) and you will also
    need to have Windows update version 1903.

    Restart your PC and then make sure you have the requirements to download the PC game pass app.

    Xbox game pass on PC

    Unfortunately not all games have to availability to play anywhere so you’d only be able to play those on your console i’m afraid.

    Separately though you can buy solely a PC game pass through the Beta app which i may be wrong but i think its only an extra £3.99 which would enable you to be able to play solely the PC games from games pass if thats what you’re looking at doing.

    Issue with the in game login

    I would recommend testing if you play another Game Pass game with Xbox Live integration, if that will show your PC account, or the account you have with the Xbox Console Companion/Xbox (Beta) app? That can identify if this is an issue with Game Pass for
    PC or something in the specific game?

    Game Pass on PC not working.

    So on your PC you need to make sure the
    game pass ultimate account is signed into the
    Microsoft store app, You might want to try installing the
    xbox(beta) app
    on windows as well and try downloading from there.

    Not all of the game pass games between Xbox and PC are the same, the xbox(beta) app will show you all the available and installed windows game pass games
