The Xbox App for PC is telling me that Game Pass isn't available in my region, but I'm in...

wait so you're telling me that a game that is marketed as being available on gamepass in my region, that the app lets me download and install, is actually not available in my region? what?

this bug is absolutely baffling. i've tried almost everything i can find to fix it - resetting store cache, reinstalling xbox gaming services, etc etc etc - and it still refuses to launch. i have no problems whatsoever with any other game on the PC Xbox app/ Game Pass, but this one seems to refuse to acknowledge that I should be able to play it.

I've tried signing in on Chrome ,Opera, Firefox, and Microsoft edge but it still redirects me to the home page of the Xbox website. I can sign in on my mobile but not on my pc. Can you tell me a solution to that and also that does a vpn change the games available in your region on the xbox app on pc?

Hello again, if you have Ultimate Game Pass you can play Game Pass games on PC without Xbox without Xbox, but the PC game catalog isn't as extensive as Xbox.

When you log in to the App, you will see the games that are available through the App.

I have the same issue. It says it's available on game pass PC, but when you actually try to play it, it says it isn't available.

EDIT: the xbox game pass app on android shows the correct state of the game - Only available on consoles.

Hi there Shane, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player, just like you. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

Have you verified that the region and language of your Windows are correctly configured? I have seen that on many occasions some games from the Game Pass catalog or the Xbox app in general appear as 'not available' if you have a different region and language configured. Likewise, please check the configured time zone on your PC.

It is very likely that this is the reason, as I also see that the Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming tabs do not appear in the upper left corner of your Xbox App.

You can check this on your PC by going to:

Start > Settings > Time & Language > Region.

If everything is configured correctly and the problem continues, I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me which region you are from.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.
