Games doesn't launch with xbox game pass for PC

Hey there,

Thank you!

Hi !

So I tried to download 3 games from the Windows Store after uninstalled the Gamepass app.

Nothing worked. I tried on Forza Horizon 4, Zoo Tycoon, and an indy game, none of the game launched.

I had some problems trying to open any game pass game in my computer for weeks, and I solved it. The problem was my time/date, it was wrong and at the exact moment that I adjusted it 5 instances of The Outer Worlds that I was trying to open launched right
away, so it was quite clear that this was the problem.

Other launchers worked flawlessly, so it was a problem exclusive to the windows stores apps.

If the game has downloaded completely, but will not launch from the Installed Games sidebar in the Xbox app, please try launching the title from the Start menu or the Microsoft Store on Windows.

Hi there,

The only thing I could suggest is to see if installing the games from the MS store website or MS store app instead of the Xbox Beta app. As the Gamepass PC app is still in beta and that might be the issue.
