Modding Games Manually on Xbox Gamepass Pc

most gamepass pc games do not use cloud saves and you would need to manually backup and move your saves.

the game is trash on xbox gamepass pc, steam version there is a mod to fix the screen timing issues and that resolves performance issues. constant issues reported about save files disappearing. their is cheevos listed but if everything else about how the game runs via gamepass then it probably won't work either.

Sadly as someone else said modding is not really possible with games obtained with GamePass PC (at least for NOW, read the last paragraph). It's due to the way the games are "packaged"/installed. Even with games on GamePass PC that are not UWP modding is
still not possible because the game folders are EXTREMELY locked down. You can't even simply look at a games install folder for gamepass PC games. Just like if you buy any apps/games from MS Store, all GamePass PC games are delivered through the MS store BTW,
the new beta Xbox app is just a front end / new UI but when you hit download it starts downloading from the MS store.

However there is some hope for the future. Microsoft is laying groundwork to make traditional modding of GamePass/MS Store games possible. It's already documented in their developer stuff. So it's something they know people want and are working on making
possible, so not today but I def expect to see GamePass PC / MS Store games get traditional modding support (where you can download mods from the nexus, replace game files etc) in the future.

"Enables your desktop application to specify one or more folders where users can modify the installation files for your application (for example, to install mods). This
element is currently intended to be used only by certain types of desktop PC games that are published by Microsoft and our partners

Yes, right now most of the Game Pass PC Games doesn't support mods due to they used a different file format and works in a different way (if you check the folders inside XboxGames / WindowsApps you're not going to see the regular .exe).
Sorry :c

If you have further questions feel free to ask, greetings from another Microsoft user

And not all games are going to include this feature
