How do we update Hitman 3 in Xbox app on PC when it says update pending?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Try this: Go to Windows settings >> Apps >> Xbox >> Advanced >> Repair & Reset.

After doing that, Perform the same steps for Gaming Services and Microsoft Store as well.

Afterwards try updating the game again

Hi, Ayushman. Thank you for the update.

Please be guided with the following troubleshooting steps:

Make suere that both Hitman: World of Assassination and the Xbox app are up to date. Open Microsoft Store, go to Library, and update any pending updates for the game or Xbox services.

And then run the game as administrator. To do this, right-click the Hitman: World of Assassination shortcut. Select Run as administrator to see if it bypasses the issue.

Next is to sign out & sign back into Xbox App. Open the Xbox app on your PC.

Click your profile icon in the top right, then Sign Out. Restart your PC, open the Xbox app, and sign back in. Please launch the game again.

Then repair the Game. Do this by opening Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Search for Hitman: World of Assassination.

Click Advanced options, then select Repair.

After that is to disable overlay and background apps. Turn off overlays such as Steam Overlay, Discord Overlay, or Xbox Game Bar since they can cause crashes.

Close unnecessary background apps before launching the game.

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, kindly uninstall and reinstall Hitman: World of Assassination to ensure there are no corrupted files.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Y__B

Sorry to hear about that, however, try to check if there are pending updates on your PC. This includes optional updates as well.

Go to your PC Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates

If it has, check your Microsoft store app > Library > Get Updates and ensure that your apps are up to date.

If it still won't work, try to repair your Xbox app, Gaming Services app and Microsoft store app, by going to your PC settings > Apps > Installed apps > click the 3 dots > Advance options > Repair and do this to the other apps I've listed > Restart your PC.

Uninstall Xbox app, go to windows update, check for pending updates and install, even if they are optional, restart the Pc install de app again

Sorry to hear it. Please double check that the PC and the app itself do not have any pending updates.
