    Why are some games saying non playable on this device?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    There are multiple reports in regard to multiple games on an Xbox Series X|S consoles getting this message prompt. However, there are no official announcements yet from Microsoft but as I have checked the game, it is available for Xbox Series X|S consoles.

    Please perform a power cycle on your console and then check again.

    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller.

    Xbox Series X/S games "not playable on this device" on brand new Xbox One X

    It says "Optimized for series X/S. IT should say "Only for series X/S. Why does Microsoft try to hide this with a little red circle popup note "not playable on this device" If it's not playable then keep it off my Game Pass ultimate and store

    that I pay $16.99 monthly for.

    Purchase says not playable on this device.

    Because it's not xbox one compatible you need something more upto date

    A series s/x or ps5 or pc

    Xbox one games don't have a s or x requirement

    Hi Luis,

    Yes, when I was trying to purchase that, it says the game is "not playable on this device," not only for MW but some other COD games too like COD WW2, COD black ops 3.
