Microsoft Gaming Services

Every time I try to launch Forza Horizon 5 from the Xbox App it sends me to the Microsoft store and brings me to Gaming Services. I've watched 2 different videos on trying to fix it but nothing has worked for me. If anyone has a solution please help. Thank you.

Did your problem solved yet? If yes, do you have a youtube video how to do that, please send it to me.

It seems that gaming services are not installed.

Try this to see if you’re able to install it:

Right-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:
start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Install the app on that page, and then select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
Try to install or launch the game again.

Hi and thanks for reaching Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'll be happy to assist you out today.

Hope you're doing great today WuDangClan

May I know if you already try uninstalling game services via powershell:

In the windows search bar type Powershell > Right click and select open as administrator > Type the command: "get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-Appxpackage –allusers" (without the "")

Wait for the process to finish and then restart the PC, then open your Xbox gamepass app, it will ask you to install the gaming services again, install it and try again.

This popped up. I believe I've tried this method before but did not restart my computer afterwards.
