    Some games not launching on Xbox on PC with the Game Pass


    Hello

    I'm having an issue with the xbox launcher or the games, not sure, I can launch and play some games and they work really smoothly but a number of game's just don't launch (Sea of Thieves, We Happy Few, Forager) so it isn't just high power games not working.

    What happens is i click play from either the launcher or desktop or windows menu and they just pop up for half a second and then disappear, with nothing showing up on the task manager after that point

    I've tried everything I can think of (Reinstalled games and launcher, made sure all drivers are up to date, Checked fire walls and made exceptions just in case) and nothing seems to work. It is really annoying to be honest and can understand why some people
    are getting angry at it. Ive also tried everything that has been recommended across videos and forums that I've seen, I've been trying to sort this for nearly a week now, So this is my last hope... I just want to play please.

    Thanks for reading and replying

    Charlie (Wundfell)

    :)

    Xbox game pass on pc not launching some games

    I've got the same issue, but I cant even launch any games. I have game pass and at the top of the Xbox app, there's a link that redirects me to download an optional update for windows. But, on my pc I have no download optional updates in my settings so I can play the game pass I just paid for.
