  1. Why no option for requesting legacy games to be released on pc and game pass


    I am putting this up because Xbox has failed on a few occasions to capitalize on the name power of franchises and not make older games accessible to people. for example Halo Infinite should have also had halo 5 be released on pc so people who just got MCC or have not played halo since the 360 era could be caught up. Fable is the most recent example as Fable anniversary is the only accessible entry on modern hardware while Fable 2 is locked to console and Fable 3 on PC is a nightmare to get working for those that have it on steam because of the G4WL which Capcom is working to remove for their 360 era titles. I would like to see more of the older games Microsoft owns be available to more people.

    Is Redfall not part of PC Gamepass?

    I know it is not released until May 2nd. Several of my friends on Xbox have said they could preinstall it. That doesn't seem to be an option for me. On top of that, Game pass gives 3 options, all three of which are pay options. It would be nice to have a fourth option that says "game pass" on it and gives some feedback as to why I can't pre-install on PC.

    xbox Beta App on PC - laptop not showing as listed device.

    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.

    Unable to purchase Hogwarts Legacy for Xbox series S

    Hello BradB_82. My name is Jose.

    Hogwarts Legacy cannot be purchased for Xbox Series S. The game is only available for Xbox Series X and Xbox One.

    According to a press release from Avalanche Software, the game's developer, Hogwarts Legacy could not be released for Xbox Series S due to performance limitations. The Xbox Series S has a weaker GPU than the Xbox Series X, which could have caused performance issues with a game as ambitious as Hogwarts Legacy.

    The Xbox Series S has a weaker GPU than the Xbox Series X. This could have caused performance issues with a game as ambitious as Hogwarts Legacy.

    Here are some reasons why Hogwarts Legacy cannot be purchased for Xbox Series S:

    Hogwarts Legacy is an open world game with a huge world to explore. This requires a powerful GPU to generate high-quality graphics.

    Hogwarts Legacy has a complex combat system that requires a powerful GPU to run smoothly.

    Hogwarts Legacy may be released for Xbox Series S in the future, but for now, it's only available for Xbox Series X and Xbox One.

    I hope this information has been useful to you and that your doubts have been clarified.

    Wolfenstein Yougblood on Game Pass is not the same as the Steam version

    I know that games released on Game Pass PC can be different than retail releases. Like, no achievements, or PC settings we expect to be there. I think this is a dev decision so they can get their games on Game Pass.

    buy with the uala card

    Hello Emanuel,

    Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand you purchased the game pass for PC but it is not showing on your account. In this regard it would be best to request a call from support. As they will be able to look into the account and see what subscriptions
    are active. As the game pass for PC is a totally separate subscription than game pass for console or Xbox live. Ultimate game pass combines all three subscriptions into one.

    When you go to Contact Us,follow these steps to request a call from support:



    • Step 1 ----select Xbox One
    • Step 2 ----select see other options then subscription changes
    • Step 3-----select show contact options

      Step 4 ----select request call from support

    Once they call explain the issue and they will be able to help you. Note that these options regularly change so just keep selecting something that gives request a call from support as a contact option.



    Hope this helps.



    Thanks,

    Brad
