  1. Xbox App on PC basically not fit for purpose


    Hello,

    So I am currently working away from home with terrible internet & thought I would download lots of games to play for the duration I am away. Within a couple of weeks, I can now play no games as they all need an update. Can MS not make it so that you can at least play the single-player element of these games without updating - I understand if you wanted to go online for some multiplayer you would have to be updated but not single-player.

    So games I can now no longer play:

    Halo Master Chief collection - basically bugged out and refused to play.

    age of empires 4

    Forza 5

    halo infinite - seriously what's the point in pre-downloading just to need an update on day 1.

    so then I spent the last few days downloading halo for it to finally update. I was so excited and then on launching it the app just takes me to the Microsoft store app, this does not seem to be a isolated incident (just read the reviews on that app - all 1 star review of people just wanting to play halo). Microsoft do you not have testers that work for you, do they not pick up these problems? I have been using steam for over 10 years and never come accross these issues.

    Also while i'm at it, why did i have to reformat my drive to NTFS before I could use it for the XBOX app storage space for some of the games and if there is a good technoligcal reason for this why cant a simple reason be provided for this wihtin the app rather than spending hours of my life trying to figure this out.

    Basically Microsoft do better otherwise you are going to lose a lot of customers. I'm not sure £10+ a month is good value when most of the times you can't even play the games...

    :)

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    Sorry about that. I'll suggest you leave this as feedback on the Insiders subreddit platform to bring attention to it faster, as the community is just gamers like you that can't really do anything with this feedback.

    You can leave the feedback here feedback.xbox.com

    To mobile devices and tablets, Xbox App is the one that fit that purpose

    Remote play is not working in the xbox app for PC

    That's very helpful to know, thank you! I think because there's a few apps that do different things it's really difficult to actually find this information online- because the mobile xbox app allows remote play, but not the PC app, and the console companion on PC allows remote play, google can't differentiate what you're actually asking for!

    What a shame that the much promoted 'new app' they want us to try isn't actually fit for purpose!
