    Games not launching with Game Pass Ultimate on PC


    Hi,

    I can not get games to launch with Game Pass Ultimate on PC.

    I have tried several things and nothing has sorted this.

    Obviously, I have paid for this subscription and it is very annoying that I am unable to play anything. It used to be OK but I am constantly now getting This App Can't Open Check Windows Store For More Info On ....... after it has started to load but then stops. And every time after the first time it comes straight up with the error message without even trying to start the game.

    When I go to the game on windows store via the link I get the play button again but get the same error again.

    I have tried reinstalling everything from individual games to formatting the drive and reinstalling every game and also the Xbox app and game services and still having the same issue.

    I have tried disabling the game bar and making sure I am logged in to both Xbox app and store under the same account and also making sure my region, date, and time are all correct, and still nothing.

    There are many games I would love to play on Game Pass which is why I pay for the Ultimate subscription but with no service at all what is the point. I have just wasted my money.

    Please can you advise me what to do next to sort this issue?

    Thanks,

    Simon

    :)

    Hello,

    Thanks for making this "home console" part clear.

    But at the end of your reply you are saying PC and Xbox is different. I think it's not...

    Microsoft launches Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with PC and Xbox games for $14.99 per month

    It's just called Xbox game pass Ultimate. But it is for PC as well.

    So... Now I'm still confused lol

    Again thx for the first part

    Can't purchase Ultimate Game Pass- Try again later

    confused with Xbox gamepass options

    There's not a separate list of Game Pass games for Ultimate. If they're in Game Pass for PC, then they're in Ultimate. If they're in Game Pass for console, they're in Ultimate. But Minecraft is not available through Game Pass for PC, only console.

    Is game pass ultimate separate from xbox game pass ultimate for pc?

    There is only Game Pass Ultimate not a Game Pass Ultimate for PC.

    Game Pass Ultimate is just a bundled subscription of Gold, Game Pass for console, and Game Pass for PC so you don't have to buy them all individually.
