Restrictions on xbox game pass

Hello Mitchell G, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If you are sharing Xbox Game Pass with your brother and encountering issues where certain games, such as Forza Motorsport, are unavailable for download, it could be due to various reasons:

Game availability: Game availability can vary based on region and licensing agreements. Certain games may not be available in your region or may have specific restrictions that prevent them from being shared through Xbox Game Pass.

Game Pass subscription level: Different games may be available on different subscription tiers of Xbox Game Pass. Ensure that you and your brother have the same subscription level or check if Forza Motorsport requires a separate subscription or additional purchase.

Licensing restrictions: Some games have specific licensing restrictions that limit their availability for sharing. Publishers can choose to restrict certain games from being shared through Xbox Game Pass, and it's possible that Forza Motorsport falls under such restrictions.

I hope this helps.
Best regards.
