Xbox Game Bar: Some games not showing up as status.

I have the same issue with Diablo IV on the xbox game bar. The game was install using battle.net. It appears the xbox game bar recognizes it is a game however, my status only shows online. I believe this is the only game so far that I have encounter this issue. The resources top task in the game bar shows battle.net as high and not Diablo IV, but the task manager shows Diablo IV. Call of Duty was installed using battle.net as well; however, xbox game bar shows the status as playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

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.

Xbox Game Bar has unfortunately been an afterthought for years. I still have issues with it not showing the correct status (the game I'm playing), I don't think they will ever actually fix that.

They're having some problems with game pages and special offers and stuff showing up on the Marketplace. There's a status alert about it, apparently they're working on it:
