    Xbox Game Pass games won't launch on Windows 11


    Since upgrading to Win11, none of my Xbox Game Pass games will launch (except for EA Play games).

    Whenever I try to launch any game, nothing ever happens. No error message or pop up, and I only get this error in Diagnostic Data Viewer:

    Microsoft.Gaming.XboxPC.Error

    "featureName": "PackageManagerSaga",

    "identifier": "Error",

    "message": "Failing launch a game",

    "properties": 0

    "errorCode": 50053,

    I've tried repairing, resetting, and reinstalling the Xbox app, the games, and Xbox Gaming Services. Ran sfc and DISM with no issues. I'm fully up to date on Windows 11 (Beta Channel). Signed out and back in the Xbox app and made sure my locale/time is synced correctly. I had no issues running these same games several weeks ago.

    I have tried virtually every solution posted short of resetting my PC and the only thing that worked was using a new local profile, essentially the same situation posted here:

    Xbox Game Pass games won't launch on Windows 11

    Hi Vorter,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you are struggling with getting Game Pass games to launch on your Windows 11 device and only accessing EA play games. Thank you for providing me with the steps you have taken to offer you some additional ones to try and see if we could solve this problem without having you clean install your PC. Would you please try the following suggestions?

    Solution 1: Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode; this error could also be attributed to issues with the Microsoft store not recognizing your entitlement to the game. Would you please click on this link Play games offline on Windows 10 using Offline mode | Xbox Support. Then scroll down and click on the drop-down arrow and look at the steps for How to enable offline play on your device.

    Solution 2: Make sure you do not have other programs like

    • Anit-virus
    • Firewall
    • PC Optimizers
    Blocking the game

    Solution 3: Have you attempted to install the games on a secondary drive? And if so, please make sure that the secondary hard drive is formatted as NTFS. How to format a USB flash drive or external storage device to NTFS on Windows

    You stated that you created a new Profile? Do you mean a Windows profile or Xbox? If it's a Windows Profile that you created, and it worked. Then then the best solution would be to reset your Windows 11 device and perform a clean install. Because that means your main profile is corrupted. Especially when you are in any of the beta or early builds on Windows 11, problems like the one you are experiencing can occur. Would you please make sure to back up all your data before performing the clean install, as you will need to reinstall all your programs, and your files will not be on the machine.

    I hope these suggestions help! If this answered your question, please mark the thread as “Answered.”
