No card packs after buying Gears 4 season pass in the in game store

Season Pass

Appears as DLC under Manage Game: No

Where to find your content: Delivered as Gear Packs in the My Gear Packs menu



The Season Pass entitles you to 17 Gear Packs and the Vintage JD Pack when you first boot the game. It also provides future ownership of all future maps for Private Play, and access to the Developer Playlist when it’s active.



IMPORTANT: The bonus Gear Packs from Season Pass are not shared. If you wish to ensure you get your Season Pass Gear Packs, you must first play the game on the Gamertag that you want to receive the packs.



Why does this not appear in my Downloaded Content for Gears of War 4?

The Season Pass is a license that tells us you own the content. Even if you aren’t seeing it in your downloaded items, you’re good to go provided you bought the Ultimate Edition version of Gears 4 or the Season Pass separately (available from October 11th).



How do I find my content from the Season Pass?

All the Gear Packs from the Season Pass will be available in the Unopened Gear Packs menu. Go to Store, then tab to My Gear Packs to find them. Note that the Starter Airdrop adds 17 Gear Packs to your inventory - you will not have a Starter Airdrop pack to
open.



I haven’t received my Gear Packs for the Season Pass.

The Gear Packs included in the Season Pass can only claimed once per game license. This means that the first person to log on with your game will receive the 17 Gear Packs and Vintage JD Pack.



If another person is assigned with your home console or you have multiple users on the same Xbox, you should ensure the first user who plays Gears of War 4 is the Gamertag you want your Gear Packs to be awarded to. We will not replace Season Pass Gear Packs
which have been claimed by another user on your license.



If you believe your Season Pass content is missing and the case above does not apply, please leave a post
in this thread with your Gamertag, what’s missing, and when you first played (please be as specific as possible).

Thank you for your response. I have done that and installed the maps. The maps were the only thing that was available to be downloaded and no card packs or anything appeared afterward when I checked. I have already removed and reinstalled my profile/account.
And turned off my Xbox for 2 mins and removed all power sources. None of those solved the issue. Any other suggestions?

Please check if everything that comes with the DLC is correctly installed.

Head over to my games and apps, press start on GOW4 and select manage game.

Are there any items left that need to be installed? If so, install them and check the game again.

[quote user="Azrael008uk"]So what's the difference between these 2?[/quote]

Hardended Edition is a version of the game that includes the full game and the season pass. Season Pass is DLC that does not include the game.

.

The season pass (whether you get it included in the hardended edition or as separate DLC) gives you access to download the 4 map packs that will be released for this game over the next few months. Buying the season pass ends up being like a $10 discount
over buying all 4 map packs separately.

I said and were not season pass holders or Halo 4 LE owners. That means that anyone who downloaded it for free (and does not have either the season pass purchased, or the Halo 4 LE copy) has that 1 week trial. After that trial's over those
people will need to either a.) buy the season pass, or b.) buy the Crimson Map Pack if they wish to gain access to that content.

If you have a season pass or a Halo 4 LE then you don't need to anything as this is only going to affect people who downloaded the map pack without owning either of the above.

Hope that clears it up for ya.
