Why is Fallout 3 on PC game pass not working? I can't even start a new game.

Hi, Chris. I hope you're doing well and safe out there. I'm an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

I'm sorry to hear that. We can try some steps that might help. Kindly open the Xbox app for Windows.

In My Library, select the game title.

Select the More options (…) button and choose Manage.

Select Files and then Verify and repair. Try launching Fallout 3 again. If all of your games are having this issue, check if you have any pending updates using the link below:

For Windows 10: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

For Windows 11: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

If there's nothing pending, kindly right-click the Start button on your taskbar, and then select Windows Terminal (Admin). In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage

I did this too and talked with Customer Support. They said you can't play on PC with Game Pass. Even though a Sea of Thieves ad pops up at my Windows 10 start button for the Microsoft Store, and clearly says "Play Free with Game Pass" with $59.99 crossed
out. Why would this pop up on my Windows 10 PC when you can't play on PC with Game Pass? It's very misleading. Plus, now that I've activated my two-week trial on Game Pass, it's going to be wasted. They can't pause it ... I asked.

Fallout 3 has been removed from game pass (removal was scheduled for the end of February if I well remember). Having the standard game pass or the ultimate will not change anything since the list of available games is the same for the console and on PC
the Fallout games are not part of the pass.

Games like Borderlands 2 or Minecraft can be install if I had a xbox one but to PC I can't (xbox game pass PC) !! Why ?!

Why ?

Tve Xbox Game Pass from console its different from the Xbox Game Pass on PC!

Some games are exclusive for console and others for PC.

Btw remember tha Xbox Game Pass on PC it's just started, so you will see more and more games will be add on Game Pass.

Regards!

I don't believe Fallout 4 is part of the PC game pass although it is in the console game pass. This would be why you are only given the option to download it on your console.
