Hello mateusmateus_2,



I’m sorry to hear you are having issues with Game Pass for PC.

I’m not sure what advantages you are talking about. Which Game Pass Ultimate Perks are you trying to download where you receive this error?

To redeem your perks, you must enter the code on your console or PC app you cannot redeem them via mobile.

Here is additional information which may help with your question on redeeming your perk:

As far as I am aware, there is no cross platform play between Steam and Xbox when it comes to Ark, so your Steam version cannot communicate with their Game Pass version of the game. You would have to download the Game Pass version of the game and start fresh
there in order to play with other people using the Game Pass version.

Game Pass Ultimate includes PC Game Pass so as long as you're using the same account, you'd already have it on the PC so there's nothing to transfer.

You can cancel it and just get PC Game Pass if you want. Game Pass Ultimate also includes cloud gaming and Perks (codes for some in-game items/apps), but you won't lose anything else by getting just standard Game Pass.

Game Pass Ultimate is just a bundled subscription of Gold, Game Pass, and Game Pass for PC. So games downloaded from Game Pass will work the same as they do with standard Game Pass versus Ultimate.

Since Forza is a Play Anywhere title, you an download it on both the PC and console without needing Game Pass for PC or Game Pass Ultimate.
