I found a fix on PC from a guy on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starfield/comments/166ugs5/this_save_relies_on_content_that_is_no_longer/

1. go to your xbox folder /xbox games)
   
2. in the xbox folder you will find 3 folders\
   
   1. Constellation
      
   2. Old Mars
      
   3. Starfield
      
3. go into the Constellation folder and copy all the files except the content folder into the Starfield folder (all the EACExxx files)
   
4. go into the Constellation folder -> go into the Content folder -> go into the data folder and copy the 3 files, then go into the Starfield folder -> Content folder -> data folder and paste the 3 files there.
   
5. Repeat step 3 and 4 but now for the Old Mars folder. (Copy again the EACE files into the starfield folder and again copy the 3 files from the Old Mars data folder into the data folder of Starfield
   
6. launch the game and the error should be gone
   

Unfortunately, there is no way to select the path where the files will be saved, as they are encrypted files that are saved in the same place, unlike steam and other launchers that have their subfolders with the names of games and executables.

The only thing you can do is select which external or internal hard drive the games will be installed on, to do this follow the instructions below.

Open Xbox Game Pass PC app.

Click on your profile icon on the top right of the corner.

Go to Settings.

Click on General from the left menu.

Under the drive selection tab, hit “Change where this app installs games by default“.

Choose the drive you want your games to be installed in.

Where does Xbox Game Pass install games?

The default install directory for the games is the WindowsApps folder. Alongside many other Windows 10 applications, the games you download from Game Pass are also stored in this file. You must have administrator permissions if you want to gain access to it though.

In fact, even you manage to open the folder you will not be able to run or locate the game files in it. They are encrypted by Windows during installation and they can only be run from the Game Pass app. So running the game from .exe is not possible when it comes to the desktop application.

I've also just successfully downloaded and installed another pc game pass game and that worked, but starfield is still failing.

Hi,

Yakuza 0 is not cross compatible with save files across Xbox and PC. This is why you have to start the game from the beginning on Game Pass PC.
