PC Game Pass isn't letting me play any games?

JackMunning · Jun 29, 2022

I've tried everything. Rebooting, restarting, uninstalling games and reinstalling them, uninstalling and reinstalling the Xbox app, etc. Sometimes I'm able to get a game to run if I sign out and sign in, and then clicking play as quickly as possible. But even then, if I close out the game and try to play it again it continues to show me this error: "(whatever game I'm trying to play) is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001". I even tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing to PC Game Pass, making sure that I am signed in to the same account the whole time. I really don't know what else to do, the game pass is just turning into a waste of money at this point. I should be able to just hit play and play the game like any other platform.

Also, the code you gave me to enter into PowerShell isn’t correct. The first portion up to “|Foreach…” isn’t recognized as the name of a cmdlet, a function, script file, or operable program. I double and triple checked the spelling, spacing, etc and it’s still not working.

This is a ridiculously long process. I’m gonna try it anyway. Originally when I saw your reply I refunded my game pass and gave up, but there are too many games on there that I’d like to play without spending a fortune (if I can end up even playing them). Is there no shorter way or something Microsoft can do from their side? I mean, I didn’t even do anything to cause this issue so I don’t understand why I have to go through all of this trouble just to play games.
