Xbox Games Pass filters in Windows 10 Store need to be more robust

Idk if this is related but i doenloaded game pass for pc and searched “surviving mars” and turned up nothing. I had to look through the games manually.

Hi,

Not only does Win 10 LTSC not get updates very often, it' is also missing the Windows Store.

Game Pass on PC uses the Windows 10 Store to download the games, they don't download and install via the app. No Windows Store, no PC Game Pass compatabilty.

LTSC was designed for mission critical work tasks, not gaming.

You'll need one of the consumer versions of Windows 10 to use Game Pass.

Hi,

Windows 10 LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) is a stripped down version of Windows designed for long term use. However, it does not contain the Windows Store. The store is
essential to install games via the Beta app.

The Windows Store can not be installed on LTSC, so you would need to switch to Windows 10 Home to use the Xbox Game Pass on PC.

Hi,

Not that I'm aware of.

The Beta app for PC isn't like stand-alone applications such as Steam, Origin or GoG on Windows. The Beta App is no more than a front end for the Microsoft Store built into Windows 10 to gain access to the Xbox Game Pass for Windows 10. As it's part of Windows
10, it needs the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) system to work.

If the Beta app was made stand-alone and able to run in Linux, Microsoft wouldn't have as much control over it, so it's highly unlikely to happen.

Hello Vita0,

Thank you for posting here on the Xbox forums. Grand Theft Auto 5 is not available on PC through Gamepass. You can check GTAV on the Windows 10 store to see it is only available on Xbox One. Also, you can review this website to filter for PC games available
through the Gamepass subscription:
Game pass Games Library

Select "PC games" to view the games you can install. Hope this helps!
