Xbox Game Bar (PC) not showing many Epic Games Store game status

Thanks I tried all that but no luck. There's no way that I know of to check game compatibility. I'm kind of wondering as a developer myself. Could this be due to certain games not implementing the Xbox GDK or something?

Hello JB_98769876, I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

I understand your frustration.

Here are some points that could help you solve your problem:

Update Windows and Xbox Game Bar: Go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Check for updates to see if updates are available for your device.

Also, make sure you have the latest version of Xbox Game Bar

Check your Xbox Game Bar settings: Make sure “Record game clips, screenshots, and stream with Xbox Game Bar” is turned on

To do this, press the Home button and select Settings > Games > Game Bar

Check game compatibility: Some games may not be compatible with Xbox Game Bar

If a game is not supported, you may not be able to record gameplay clips, take screenshots, or stream

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, don't hesitate to contact us again.

If you're referring to the Xbox Game Bar on PC, it saves to your hard drive as default. If you go to the Settings app on your PC, click on 'Gaming', and then on the side bar, click on 'Captures'. That will show you where the Xbox Game Bar recordings and
screenshots are stored.

Thanks John! I just saw your reply.

This is basically what I was looking for. Thank you for the information. Hopefully most games will show in future updates of Game Bar then. It's not really a huge deal just a pet peeve of mine. And the fact I couldn't find concrete information on the topic was bothering. I really like how on Discord you can add games that don't show up, even set custom statuses.

I am familiar with the "Remember this is a game" setting but it only enables "Record last X sec" on the Game Bar DVR. It doesn't affect the name of the game showing on your Xbox status.

The only thing I really don't get then is why specific games will show up on my friend's Xbox status but not mine. I own Resident Evil Village on Steam. When I play, it says "Online". But a guy on my friend's list.. it shows the title of the game. Same goes for Chivalry 2 on Epic Games Store. Weird..

Hi,

You can change your online Status on PC via the Game Bar. Press and hold the Windows Key and
tap G on the keyboard.

Or with an Xbox controller attached to the PC, access the Game Bar by pressing the
Xbox button.

Depending on how the Game Bar is set up on the PC a number of Windows will be displayed. Showing as Online or Offline is available in the Xbox Social window. To configure the game bar to your liking, press the Overlay Menu, next
to the time. This will allow you to change what Windows of the Game Bar are displayed.
