    Microsoft Store wont let me install Gears 5 without also installing Gears or War 4


    I just purchased Gears 5 and only realized after I bought it that its a bundle that also contains Gears of War 4. Trouble is, The store won't let me just install Gears 5. It gives me no option to install the game only. MY internet connection here is not
    great, so I would rather just download the 80gb of Gears 5 - without Gears 4 which pushes the download up to 133gb! Very frustrating that I have to wait so much longer for a game I'm not interested in playing.

    Does anybody know how I can make the Store only download Gears 5, without the bonus Gears 4?

    :)

    Well, I downloaded the entire 133gb and 25 hours later ... it was *only* gears 4. Still no Geras 5. IF I visit the Gears 5 store page, it says I own the game. But when I try and install it from there, I get a "looks like you don't have any applicable devices
    linked" error. Very frustrating! It says I own the game, but won't let me install it. But it installed Gears 4 fine. Its as if Gears 5 is the Xbox console version, but not PC. Anybody know whats going on?

    Thats right. It just added a single bundle entry in my library with no apparent option to only download Gears 5. And just to make things worse, it is downloading Gears 4 first!

    That's odd,so it didn't add the two games to your Ready to install section on Games & Apps? ths way you can install them indepently

    Where did you get this bundle? I'm only seeing a Halo 5 and Gears 4 bundle available on the store. I checked Xbox and store.microsoft.com.

    If its two seperate downloads try cancelling the gears 4 one and trying just the 5.

    if both games are in the same single download you’ll have no other choice to either purchase them seperately or install it as one
