    Need help connecting to a friends game through the xbox game bar.


    Im on windows 11, i have sea of thieves on steam, im trying to join a friends game using the xbox game bar, but it keeps asking me to select an app from the windows store to launch, which i can't do because the games on steam, my steam account is already linked to my microsoft account.

    :)

    Cant download Games pass games off app or store.

    I'm sorry for going through this friend, did you check your connection? Try installing the game pass bar again, sign out and log in again.

    Xbox Console Companion (PC) - Not able to join or create parties, and my headset and microphone aren't showing up either.

    Hi,

    It's best to use the Game Bar now on Windows 10 to chat to your friends on consoles or PC.

    If you have an Xbox controller connected to your PC, pressing the Xbox Button will also activate the Game Bar.
