game pass not allowing me to install game

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there.

I'm Wille, an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

This already happens a lot when the date of birth is incorrect in the Microsoft account profile.

Note: You must be over 18 years old.

Access the link: https://account.microsoft.com/profile/

Make sure your date of birth is correct.

If you still have the correct date, try logging your account out and logging back in on your console or Xbox Windows 10/11 app if you're on a PC.

See that in the link below many users solved this problem by doing these procedures:

Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products that are often classified as PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Products).

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to clarify it.

Hoping that everything works out for the best.

I hope I helped you. Hugs!

Hi there,

Cheers for the reply,

The error seems to be from windows itself,

I un-installed the game and then tried to re-install it through the Microsoft store. it does not allow me to install the game through there as there is no install button? Only a BIG blue button asking me to join Game Pass for console.

I just checked one of the other games on the store that is on the game pass that I haven't installed (Sea of Thieves in this case) and that DOES have a blue install button present.

Cheers,

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. I'm sorry you're having this problem. Before we try any different solutions, please make sure your windows are updated to the latest version, in this case I mean windows 10 version 21h1.

If it is not up to date, please update by following the instructions below.

Select the Start button and then go to Settings > Update and Security > Windows Update.

- If updating the system does not solve the problem, I suggest you try the solutions below.

Solution 1:

Open RegEdit as an administrator and delete the following Services:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServicesNet]

PC reboot

Install gaming service like you would normally

Solution 2:

Go to Windows settings

Applications

Applications and Features

Look for Gaming Services

Click on it

Advanced options

Tap repair

- If it doesn't work, try the alternative below.

Download the Create Windows 10 installation media application from the link below, at the end of the download run the application, and then follow the instructions given by the program at the end click on upgrade. Rest assured none of your files will be lost, this is a system restore that will try to fix this error.

* Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

Same here (Germany, Xbox Series X, Game Pass Ultimate).

I have downloaded the Game Pass iOS app which allows me to select on which Xbox (One X or Series X) I want to install the game on but it fails with "Es ist ein Problem aufgetreten" (An Error occurred).

Microsoft will soon allow games to be installed in a folder of your choice if the game supports it. Also, modding is coming to game pass as well, again the game has to support it.
