    How do i launch my game

    Hi Justin, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Do you have the subscriptrion active on the same account you redeemed the game on Gold?

    Please, make sure to make your XBOX the home console of your account.

    Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

    Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

    To make this your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox.

    Then, please, power cycle your console.

    Turn off your console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it shuts down completely.

    Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 60 seconds.

    Important Be sure to wait at least 60 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    Plug the console power cable back in.

    Press the Xbox button on your console to turn it on.

    I hope this helps.

    How do I get my game to launch?

    Hi Rob, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Please, reset the store:

    Press the Windows key +R

    Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.

    Follow the prompts.

    Restart your PC.

    Then, repair the XBOX app installation:

    Press the Windows Key+X > Select Apps > Search for XBOX > Advanced > Restore

    Then, on the same page, press Repair.

    Let me know if it works!

    None of my microsoft games are launching how do i fix this

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Pushedrocket, are you playing on Pc, what would be your operating system, Win 10 or 11?

    Have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 22H2?

    See which version of Windows 10/11 you have

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/see...

    Updates are often seen as optional.

    If you haven't updated yet, click the link below, update, and make all subsequent security updates.

    Download Windows 10

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Download Windows 11

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Also, make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed, it works with the Xbox App.

    will halo ce anniversary ever make it into the marketplace for download?

    It likely will some day but I hate how they always do it a few months after launch instead of with the launch of the game.
