    Games launched from Xbox Game Pass always launch in Exclusive full screen mode and I can't...


    As the title states, any game that I launch using the Xbox Game Pass section in the Xbox App for PC always opens in fullscreen exclusive mode regardless of the actual in-game settings. Some games that I have tried include, Indiana Jones and the Great circle, NFS Heat, Wolfenstein:The New Order, Wolfenstein:The New Colossus and a few others.
    I really would like to be able to alt+tab through apps and use windows shortcuts in general. It's annoying and frustrating to have to open the game bar and use that to navigate to the settings app every single time I want to switch to a different app.

    Any help in this regard would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    :)

    Games launched from Xbox Game Pass always launch in Exclusive full screen mode and I can't change it

    Hello YashTheGreat101, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

    Sorry to hear you're having trouble. Please check this link https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for... that has some steps for this. One of the easiest shortcuts is to press the F11 key on your keyboard. This will toggle you out of full screen.

    Are you guys launching it in snap or split screen mode? Or are you launching it full screen? Are you on a PC or a tablet?

    By launch exclusive, I mean exclusive to Xbox ONE. Aside from one arcade game, all the others were avail on 360. That's not the definition of launch exclusive.

    Xbox gamepass broken [PC]

    Hi ,

    sorry to hear. Please help us to help you, did you receive any errorcode?? Do you always hang in the game menu or don't start the game when you try to launch it via the Game Pass app?
    I don't receive any error codes and the game will always launch successfully but once I reach the title screen and the xbox live prompt comes up I am stuck in that title screen. I have a stable internet connection so it can't be that.
