Thank you for fixing the game pass beta app for PC and moving it to UWP

Is your PC running Windows 10 1903? and are you using the Game Pass PC (beta) app to download the game?

Either the update or the app fixed it. It's downloading. Thanks

Hi Deigge,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. I'd be happy to help.

Which beta app are you having issue downloading? The Xbox Console Companion App (Beta) or the Xbox Game Pass for PC app (Beta)? You'll need to have he beta companion app downloaded first before you can download the PC game pass app (beta) and you will also
need to have Windows update version 1903.

Restart your PC and then make sure you have the requirements to download the PC game pass app.

Hi,

No I'm afraid that isn't possible. You can install to different drives, but you can not specify a folder like other Steam, GoG or Origin unfortunately. This is because Game Pass on PC uses the Windows UWP (Universal Windows Platform) to install apps and
games.

The Xbox Beta App is not a stand-alone download application, it does all downloads via the Windows Store.

Hi,

Not that I'm aware of.

The Beta app for PC isn't like stand-alone applications such as Steam, Origin or GoG on Windows. The Beta App is no more than a front end for the Microsoft Store built into Windows 10 to gain access to the Xbox Game Pass for Windows 10. As it's part of Windows
10, it needs the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) system to work.

If the Beta app was made stand-alone and able to run in Linux, Microsoft wouldn't have as much control over it, so it's highly unlikely to happen.

The Xbox Beta app needs the UWP framework which isn't implemented in Wine.

If you wish to run the Windows 10 Xbox Beta App (or any other UWP App from the Windows 10 Store), the only way to do that on your Mac is by dual booting or Virtualization.

Wine will not help in this case.
