  1. TRIAL Games


    So I downloaded and played my first trial game on XBox One. Ya know, to see if I liked it? I was only allowed to play the tutorial, which is perfectly ok with me, since trial games have been around for what 8 years now? Anyway, after about 30 minutes of
    playing, I decided that despite liking the game, I would never have time to actually play, as it is a substantially large one. Well upon winding down my time in the tutorial, I unlocked an achievement? Uhhhhhhhhhh, WHAT?!! I didn't want this on my M$ gamertag.
    I know in the past you could remove a game from your profile/ tag if you'd not unlocked an achievement. So how about this? It's a trial game. I don't want it, and in fact with what I suspect is m$'s new marketing ploy to sell more digital titles, I will NOT
    be playing ANY more trial games. I will rent them, try them on an offline account, and if I don't like them I will return them. Which as a matter of fact, I just cancelled the next three preorder games I had. I'm renting them. An actionable and unwanted force
    upon me, receives an opposite reaction out of me. Basically all I want to know is how to remove this from my profile/ tag. NOT be told by a m$ representative to go to TA for help on removing it. That's just plain ignorant and not acceptable from a m$ representative.
    I have the whole chat if anyone wants to read it.

    Game Trials

    I don't believe you can. I know that the limited time for a trial is usually only 1 hour.

    You can't remove it once you've unlocked an achievement. You're stuck.

    No one? You can't get it removed. You've unlocked an achievement.

  7. NOT an option. What I am looking for here is someone to get a hold of who CAN do that, as it needs to be done. This is their doing, NOT mine. This needs to be addressed. I'm not looking for CAN'T, I'm looking for these are the individuals, or this is the
    department that you need to get in touch with. I've already spoken with support both on the phone and in chat. I want an answer, I want a RESPONSIBLE employee to read this or be referenced so this can be RECTIFIED. Can't do it, doesn't and wont work, and it
    most certainly doesn't make it go away.

    TRIAL Games

    From the FAQ on the Support page here ---

    "Can I earn achievements in a trial?"

    Maybe. It's up to the individual game publisher to determine if they offer achievements in a trial.

    "I earned achievements in a trial. Will I lose them if I don’t buy the full game?"

    No. Any achievements earned are permanently part of your Xbox Live profile.

    Soak up that 15 point achievement... love it... accept it.... grow with it.

  9. Right, I understand that NOW they can be. Wasn't the question. Just the fact that I need to read and filter through the muddle mess that is m$ terms, forums or any other pertinent information is disastrous enough in and of itself. If it was "up" to publishers,
    are we really to believe that NONE except this one have decided to experiment with that tactic? Or is it more likely that as a corporation, m$ is STILL hell bent on FORCING digital EVERYTHING? If so, great, but give me some options to get out of it. I do appreciate
    the help in Trying to locate someone to talk to, and I will keep on until this is FIXED!! This isn't going away.

    To save money and hassle from renting games, I would create a second account to play any future trials on. I feel your pain, as I have a few games that I have 1 or 2 achievements in that I will never complete, however, there is no way to remove achievements.
    I recommend voting for this (xbox.uservoice.com/.../6028930-remove-achievements-that-you-have) and any other similar
    ideas you can find on the Xbox Feedback site. Many of the suggestions from that site have come into fruition (backwards compatibility being one of the most prominent), so Microsoft clearly pays attention to it.

    Sorry that there isn't a better answer to your question, but maybe it will one day be a Game with Gold.

  11. Thank you @Ken. That is exactly what I was looking for. I already commented and I like your solution for trial games. I appreciate your help.

    Refund for Battlefield 2042 TRIAL

    Umm you don't pay for trials

    There is no paid trial

    There is a 10hour trial version yes but it's an ea demo

    That you don't pay for the trial

    You are talking about the xgu trial on Nov 12 th yes that was free NOT PAID

    If you are talking about your purchase Of the game that isn't a trial

    And refund policy applies but since 7 hours is significant amount of playtime it's unlikely to qualify

    There is a trial but you don't pay for it you download the actual trial game and play with the limitations early before the 19th.

    If you downloaded the paid game then no it's not a trial

    https://www.pastemagazine.com/games/ea/battlefield-ea-play-early-access-trials/

    Concerning your purchase you reply to the rejection email however since you are trialing after you buy rather then playing the actual trial game you fall under the significant playtime

    14 day xbox live trial from Halo 4, a complete lie.

    A trial is a trial. Most trials are specific to the game they came with. They do not offer full access to Gold features which includes Gold only games or trials. In the case of the Halo 4 trial card, this means you will be able to access online multiplayer
    for Halo 4 only.

    You should read the find print on the back of the trial card.

    For new Microsoft/Xbox accounts, if xbox game pass ultimate 14 days trial codes could be used/sold as xbox game pass 14 days trial codes or xbox live gold 14 days trial codes?

    Dear Support,

    Thank you for the fast reply!

    Er...my question is that a 'xbox game pass ultimate 14 days trial codes' could be used/sold as 'xbox game pass 14 days trial code' or 'xbox gold live 14 days trial code', right?

    I understand that a xbox game pass 14 days trial code or a xbox live gold 14 days trial code can't be used/sold as xbox game pass ultimate 14 days trial code for sure.

    Because a 'xbox games pass ultimate 14 days trial code' equals a 'xbox game pass 14 days trial code + xbox live gold 14 days trial code', so for new Microsoft/Xbox accounts, a 'xbox game pass ultimate 14 days trial codes' could be used/sold as 'xbox game
    pass 14 days trial code' or 'xbox gold live 14 days trial code' , right?

    Please help to clarify.

    Thanks again for your time! :)

    Helli i my xbox live gold doesn't work.

    Trial codes are a little tricky. Not all trial codes allow access to all games since it's a trial.

    And some trial codes will not work if you've had a trial subscription before.

    You're best bet it to try and buy a subscription

    Trial live gold and titanfall

    The gold trial you got when creating your account on your new console will register you as a gold member so you will get the games for gold, but its still a trial.

    The titanfall trial card will only be a regular trial card that wouldn`t normally get you the games for gold.

    Any trial cards you get free within game boxes will only be regular trial cards, and will not get you all gold benefits.
