Xbox will not download from game pass or store

Tried, but didn't work...

By the way, i tried the following:

• download exiting game (not game pass) from windows store, able to start the download
  
• download game from Steam , able to start the download
  
• download game from Epic, able to start the download
  
• download game from Origin, able to start the download
  
• download game from battle.net, able to start the download
  

so to me it seems that only the xbox app is causing issues, is there a way to use the game pass without the xbox app? is there a way to download directly from the Windows store?

If you own the xbox game pass download Xbox (beta) app from Microsoft Store and launch games with it

Hello Avian,

When you want a game from the game pass for PC, you need to go through the game pass for PC or the Microsoft store to download the games. They will not download from the app or console companion. Here is the

game pass for PC FAQ.

Thanks,

I try it from Microsoft Store and its works. Game was added to xbox app, but when i want some game from xbox app, app still saying that i need purchase game pass. I dont understand. But at all, i can downloading games from pass, but only from Microsoft Store.

atleast you dont need to use Xbox (beta) app to download games from Xbox Game Pass, you can download them from Windows Store instead as a temporarily alternative

Thanks for this!! For some reason I didn't think to even try to download a game without the Xbox Game Pass app.
