    Unable to pre-download Forza Horizon 5 via the Xbox app for PC


    I just got a subscription to Game Pass for pc the other day and started to pre-install FH5 on my computer. I got about 40GB downloaded but stopped it so I could go to bed. The next day, I opened the Xbox app to try to resume the download but it no longer shows up in my downloads. I tried to manually start the install again from the game page but it just loads for a bit and stops. My hard drive shows that part of the game has been downloaded but I just can't continue downloading it. I'm not sure if this is related to the current issues with FH5 but I would really like to be able to pre-download it so I'm ready for the launch day. Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    These steps can help you, give it a try.

    Check for updates on Windows Update, update everything including optional/additional updates.

    1. Logout from Xbox app and Microsoft Store app

    2. Look for the Xbox app and Microsoft Store app in the Windows menu, right-click, click app settings and then click terminate, restore and reset.

    3. Clear the store cache type ''wsreset'' in the Windows bar, run as admin, and wait for the screen to close and open the store automatically.

    4. Open the Microsoft Store app, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner>downloads updates>get updates and update everything.

    5. Restart your PC, log in to both apps and see if that solves the problem.

    Also, try installing the game via the Microsoft Store app.

    Switch pre-order from Xbox to PC

    If it's a Play Anywhere title like, for example, Forza Horizon 5, then it doesn't matter which platform you pre-order it from as the same purchase can be downloaded on either.

    If it's not, then you'd need to cancel the Xbox version pre-order and then pre-order the PC version

    Forza Horizon 5 is not able to download to an external drive.

    All of my Microsoft and Xbox games are downloaded on my external drive including the previous Horizon, which is Forza Horizon 4. I changed where new apps are stored when downloaded from the Microsoft store to my external drive but it still wont download Forza Horizon 5 to my external drive. On the Xbox app it wont show my external drive as an option to download to. I am able to download any game from the Microsoft store and Xbox app to my external drive except Forza Horizon 5.

    Forza Horizon 5 gets stuck on preparing and then cancles - Windows 11

    This is what helped me and got Forza to download.
    1. Go into the Microsoft Store and search Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition.
    2. Next you want to click on Forza Horizon 5 Standard Edition and you want to click Install from the Xbox app.
    3. This will take you to the Xbox app and when it takes you to the Forza game scroll down and look at the tab named "Included in this bundle" And click Forza Horizon 5.
    4. This should take you to the regular Forza Horizon 5 game rather than the Standard Edition, And then you want to click install and this should download the game.

    Hope this helps have a good day!

    I cant play forza 5 with game pass core

    You can play forza horizon 5 if you own it

    But if you only downloaded it via gamepass you don't own it

    Forza horizon 4 is available though for core
