Ready to Install Games Not Showing

Hello all

I logged on today (October 5, 2018) around 1:00PM EST and noticed something strange. My “ready to install” list of games has changed from its own subsection in “My Games and Apps” to a second window in the subsection of “Games”.

When i went to the “Installed” window, I had 66 games, OK cool that is normal. When I went to the “Ready to Install” window, I found that none of my games were there with a message saying “Here you’ll see digital purchases not installed on this Xbox” and
a smaller message under it saying “Find games and apps in the Microsoft Store”.

I messed around with the “sort by” settings but nothing changed. I even uninstalled a game (Terraria) to see if it was in the “Ready to Install” section, but it did not show. I did both a soft and hard restart but nothing changed.

Please help me, I hope this is just some bug that can be fixed instead of something permanent.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

:)

 

Game not showing in Ready to Install

If you have purchased the game from outside the console, try the display new items button in ready to install. If this does not work or if the button is not present, make sure that the option on the upper right corner is set to ALL.

 

Games not showing in "Ready to install"

First thing's first: try a proper power cycle. That usually helps solve most problems with the Xbox.

 

if you've not already done so. Try refreshing the 'My Games & Apps' app. To do this. Open your guide and then highlight the My Games & Apps tile and press the menu (start) button on your controller. Proceed to then select refresh.

 

More than likely this is just a bug caused by the current Service alert that's affecting Buying items, redeeming codes, or downloading purchases. Here's the link to the service status. https://support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status

 

UPDATE:

Nevermind, the problem has seemed to fix itself

Thank you and have a wonderful day

 

That's good to hear. Enjoy your gaming!
