    Why is it that i cannot play downloaded games from Xbox gamepass while using my laptop?


    Why is it that i cannot play downloaded games from Xbox gamepass while using my laptop? It says that "this game should play great on this pc", after i download any games im interested in playing. So i end up just playing from the cloud (which is decent but not the reason why i bought a new laptop). For reference i have an asus vivobook model # f515fea-dh55. Typical favorite games were Gears 5 and Halo Infinite. I am able to download both and even open the game from the downloaded file. It will not let me go past pretty m uch anything after the opening menu. No multiplayer or career. The game just shuts down. Has anyone had these issues? Id love some advice. Casual player not expert so please bare with me if the fix is obvious. Thanks!

    :)

    Hi,

    As per the above reply, you won't be able play high end games like Gears 5 or Halo infinite on that machine

    It's a budget model designed to browse the Web, watch video streams and light to moderate productivity. It won't play high end games natively.

    Your laptop is for basic computing tasks, it doesn’t have the hardware to support anything beyond basic gaming. It’s meant for efficiency not speed in a nutshell

    How to share XBox Game Pass Ultimate with Family members

    on the windows laptop, sign out of the xbox app, sign in with the ultimate sub account, download whatever games they was from gamepass, sign out of the xbox app and back in with their account and they can then play those games.

    Need to change my Gameratag email address

    You can't merge accounts ever on any server it is a security risk

    You can download other games from your store profile but you cannot use your gamrsaves from the other profile

    I think you are mistaking the proccess

    One you only need to be signed into the gamepass account in the XBOX App to download the games from gamepass

    You only need to sign in on the store profile with your gamrsaves if you need to download from that store profiles games and to play those games saves

    You aren't downloading any new profiles you are only accessing to profiles from within the xbox app

    Whenever you choose to use the gamepass profile for saves well you just made it harder

    So as long as you don't use gamrsaves or certain features like gamepass ultimate cloud play you will be fine with only the original account

    Cloud requires the account with the subscription
