MS Store installation issue - State of Decay 2 - attempting to start the service GamingServices

Hi there!

To confirm, is this the game edition you're referring to:
https://www.xbox.com/games/store/state-of-decay...

On that page, click on "More" tab to check the game's minimum system requirements. Your hardware specifications may not be supported by the game itself.

To further isolate the issue, try downloading or installing a different game. If it works fine, then State of Decay 2 game may not be supported by your PC specifications.

7. Open the Windows Store and search for State of Decay 2

or

7. Open the Windows Store and search for State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition???

I invite you to read carefully the description from the MS store: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/s...tion/9nsch45hz9hk#activetab=pivot:overviewtab

It's clearly stated:

State of Decay 2: Ultimate Edition includes: • State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition
(Console version)

Pay attention at the version of the game only for console, that for the simple reason that State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition is not part of play anywhere list.

In the cases of State of Decay 2 and Deliver Us The Moon, I had both installed and working without issues (was playing SOD2 solidly for about a month). Then updates happened (about a week apart) breaking things as described above. RAGE 2 was an attempt
at a fresh install. But The Gardens Between downloaded and installed just fine.

For now just wait but that is the standard time here is some more info -
