    Xbox game bar displaying wrong game?


    Hi, I’m currently playing Watch Dogs 2, which I purchased through the Epic Games Store, but in the Xbox game bar the game is showing up as NBA 2K17. Any ideas why this might be?

    :)

    how to develop an app like xbox game bar

    Xbox Game bar is part of the operating system
    many thanks for your reply. Xbox game bar integrates many plugins and user can run xbox game bar first and then load the plugins by clicking buttons on xbox game bar. Now If I want to develop a Xbox game bar plugin, is it possibe to run the plugin with some hotkey or something else without loading xbox game bar first?Or xbox game bar runs without gui displaying on the top.

    Displaying the wrong game

    Hi,

    There are various reasons why you are experiencing this issue. It is a possible issue with the server or the Xbox app needs an update.

    To better assist you with your concern, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Does it show the same thing if you are logged in to your account on
      Xbox.com
      ?
    • Does the issue occur on a different profile?


    It does show this as well on Xbox.com

    As far as I know, this doesn't happen on other profiles. I have seen my friend playing the same game on the PC and it correctly showed the game's title on his profile.

    Some insight on where to find the update button in the Xbox app would be very helpful
