Unable to install Outer Worlds due to no applicable devices. Also unable to request refund.

Here’s a link detailing how to request a refund for a digital purchase: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing/xbox-subscriptions/digital-goods-subscriptions-refund

Just wanted to say that I am having the exact same issue. Also with Outer Worlds. I have not found a solution yet. My experience was the following.

I had been playing Outer worlds for a few weeks without issue. About a week ago it suddenly refused to open. The other game I had installed, Age of Empires II, also would not open (previously it did open). I then uninstalled both games.

When trying to reinstall Outer Worlds the download refused to work. It simply does not start the download. No error message is displayed. The UI changes to the progress bar but then back to the install button immediately.

I then reinstalled the xbox game pass application. The Outer Worlds download still did not work.

I then tried to download Subnautica. This worked and is playable.

But I downloaded the gamepass for Outer Worlds so...

If you are still not seeing them in game or somehow unable to install them after buying it. You can try reaching out with the developer or you can also submit a refund request on your purchase.

/facepalm Microsoft support in their whole glory!

No, if you just move the files - you will not be able to run the game at all. They are not even executable, it's new package format.

Of course I'm trying to move via Apps & features -> move, than select disk.

Sorry, I will better wait when it will be released on Steam. [mod removed]

Hi vlad_dt,

I am assuming you are on PC and I believe that the reason for that error code is that you cant just copy and paste game files onto another drive on a PC. I would suggest you uninstall and download again making sure your destination drive is set to where
you want the game to install.

Hope this helps
