    "Ready to install" feature in "My games & apps". Why there and why for ...


    I decided to post some of my thoughts about that option, as many people are talking about this as well.

    All games are nicely displayed as a tiles in "My games & apps". All sorted and nice looking. One day I installed one of the demo games (Dead Rising 3) and after playing it a while (2 x 20 minutes) I simply uninstalled that game from my console. Now there
    is a surprise for almost everyone, that game is visible on the right hand side of your screen in that freshly created grey field under the "Ready to install" menu.

    Why a demo game has to be there from now all the time and waiting for me to install it again? After I checked that demo I would like to buy now a full game and what is the point to display that demo over there? I understand that good idea for full paid games
    as you want them to have in your purchase history forever and get easy access for them, but I can not understand this for demos. I am sure that most of the people will have the same opinion as mine. And by the way that "Ready to install" menu should be in
    some other place, for example in the first row in settings somewhere between "Payment & billing" and "Subscriptions", but definitely not in "My games & apps" in the way how it is displayed right now.

    I hope my post will somehow highlight that annoying thing to the engineers.

    PS. Sorry for any possible mistakes in my post, but English is not my native language "Ready to install" feature in "My games & apps". Why there and why for ... ;)

    Lukas.

    I totally get what you're saying there. To play devils advocate though, basically the system is set up in a way to just keep track of games you "purchase" for the system. I put that in quotes because as you've probably noticed that even in the case of
    a free game or demo, you still technically purchase that game before you install it, thus it shows up in your purchase history.

    I think what they need to do is make it kind of like on the 360 and move the purchase history menu into settings or something, so that way it's not always in your face, or even go so far so to give us the ability to remove things from the list. But that
    comes with it's own can of worms. DIYD, DIYD.

    turned off my xbox one last night today all my games I paid for are gone what happened?.

    Hi there

    I believe xbox live is currently having problems at the moment so this could be why your games in ready to install are not showing up.

    If the games are installed try refreshing my games and apps and you should see them again.

    KoA: Reckoning all weapons and armor doc's not working

    Hello,

    Have you installed the key to them?

    To check, go to my games and apps, select the game with the select button ( button with 3 lines), then select manage and if the add-on is in the ready to install section, then that will be why and you'll need to install the add-on. If not, please try to
    provide any extra information. Thanks.

    In your Games and Apps go to your Full Library and check your ready to install games and redownload it from there.
    It’s just not there, it’s not in my library whatsoever, I forgot to mention that, that is why I went to the store for it in the first place
