Unable To Install Dead By Daylight On Xbox App For PC

Hi justlikemagic,

I'm sorry to hear you're having issues installing Dead by Daylight on the Xbox app. Here are some possible solutions I can offer to try and help resolve your issue. Before doing so, make sure you PC is completely up to date by going to Start > search Update > click Check for Updates then press the button again. Download any updates, even if they are not mandatory.

Solution 1: Make sure you do not have other programs like

• Anit-virus
  
• Firewall
  
• PC Optimizers
  

Blocking the game from working properly

Solution 2: When your Xbox app isn't working, you can try resetting the Xbox app to solve the problem. Here are the detailed steps.

1. Press Win + I to open Windows Setting.
   
2. Select the Apps category. Make sure Apps & features are selected in the left pane. In the right pane, input Xbox in the search box.
   
3. In the following window, select the Reset button. Then check if the Xbox works appropriately.
   

Solution 3: Reinstall the Gaming Services app on your Windows 10/11 device:

1. Select the Search icon on the taskbar, type PowerShell, right-click on Windows PowerShell, and select Run as administrator.
   
2. In Windows PowerShell, type the following command and press Enter:
   
3. get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
   
4. In the same window, type the following command and press Enter:
   
5. start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
   
6. Install the app on that page and select Yes when you receive the User Account Control (UAC) prompt.
   
7. Restart your device and try to install the game again.

If your Dead by Daylight DLC shows as purchased on the Xbox website but not in the Xbox app, try the following steps:

1) Check your purchase history to confirm the DLC was bought under the correct account: https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

2) Restart your console or Xbox app to refresh content.

3) Check the DLC is installed:

Go to My games & apps > Dead by Daylight > Manage game and add-ons and ensure the DLC is checked.

4) If on PC via Xbox app, try reinstalling the game or signing out and back into the app.

Please let me know if it worked or not and I would be happy to assist you further. Thank you!

This has reference to being unable to use NVIDIA filters in Dead by Daylight from the GeForce Experience issue reported. Your case has been assigned to me to process further.



Dead by Daylight Microsoft Store (Xbox) version game filter is not supported in GeForce Experience. Only the steam version of Dead by Daylight game filters works in GeForce Experience."

sorry for replying to a relatively dead thread but do you know if this is a problem unique to xbox app on the pc or will i be unable to install sunbreak on my console?

Others have had this issue and signing out and back in seems to help.

did you install dead by daylight or the special edition?

You can play Dead by Daylight: Special Edition with Xbox Game Pass for Console, or buy it to own.

dead by daylight is purchasable may have been on gamepass and rolled off.
