Remotely install games via a pc

DCFC734 · Aug 29, 2019

I recently asked this question on here and it was suggested to try Xbox Support but language barrier didn't help.

How do I set it up so I can remotely install games via xbox.com, have followed the instructions but no luck,

this is the link for the instructions Ive followed

I used to get the option to install on my Xbox One on this screen when buying a game but now I don't, can anyone advise.

Have checked twice that the account I'm logged in on the Xbox is the same as the pc (only difference is Ive chosen a nickname to post on the forums than my Gamertag)

Thanks for your help.

Yes I used to get an option to install on Xbox One on that screen Ive pasted into the reply but I don't get 1 now, I did at some point setup game sharing and Ive found instructions which say " removing this as my home Xbox to remove the designation" this
apparently gets rids game sharing, have tried to follow said instructions, I get as far as the "Personalisation screen" and there's a message saying " Your home Xbox settings cannot be changed until we connect to this service".

How can I get the option back ?

Hey DCFC

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently unable to install games remotely onto your console.

Once you have configured your console to be your Home Xbox, you can alternatively install games remotely using the

Xbox app off a mobile device.

Once you find the game you are looking for in the Microsoft Store section of the Xbox app on your mobile device, you can select it, and you will see the option to
install on your Xbox One.

As long as the console you are trying to install games on is your

Home Xbox, you should see the games in your Queue under your
Games and apps.

Give this a try and let us know if this works of you!

I'm afraid that's the only way to remotely install games. Did you change anything on your xbox?

The link below has the instructions for setting up and the conditions required to do remote installs onboth PC and Xbox. Would be worth checking you have it all set up correctly.

They're not trying to install on an Xbox One, they are trying to install on a PC, not via a PC. Which is the reason why I asked what game it was.

Why do so many people on these forums not realise that 'Xbox' is not all about just the console anymore?

Hi xBPx PRIME,
