Games on Xbox Game Pass won't load in.

Daniel Merimson · Nov 14, 2021

So a few days back I decided to download the new Forza Horizon 5 that just came out through Xbox Game Pass on PC. As soon as I launched it, it just said signing in with a little spinning circle like the loading thing always looks like. It never actually loads in the game but just loads in that same screen infinitely. I assumed it's normal because everybody was talking about there own ways on how Forza won't work for them, whether it was crashing, lagging or not launching at all, everybody had problems. I decided to just be patient and maybe it'll get fixed until what happened today. Me and my friends discovered this game called "Golf with your Friends" so we decided to download it. When it finished downloading it worked for everybody but me. To me what was strange was the fact that the problem was like a windmill on my screen just infinitely loading very similar to what happened with Forza horizon 5. Both of these games I downloaded were from Xbox Game Pass for Pc which is why I decided that maybe somebody from the community could help me. If you can please help because I have tried everything and I really want to enjoy games with my friends.

That’s great to know and sure. Try reinstalling the Gaming Services package on your Windows 10 device:

1. Right-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

2. In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

I apologize that was my bad, make sure that you're signed in on the same Microsoft account on both.

Kindly install the updates still even if they're just optional updates.

Just wanted to let you know that for some odd reason, Forza Horizon 5 works. Unfortunately golf with friends still doesn't so if you could help me with that, that would be great but on the bright side I can play Forza now.

Were you able to uninstall and reinstall both app, Daniel?

Francia J.

I apologize for all the trouble. Kindly repair both games and then restart your PC.

Settings > Apps > Search for the name of the games > Advanced Options > Repair > Restart your PC.

If that still didn't work uninstalling and reinstalling both apps will be the next resort.
