Microsoft offers Game Pass, a subscription service that offers unlimited access to over 100 games that you can play anywhere. Which means you don’t need to buy the game separately for the Xbox as well as PC.

However, some users have reported that they are unable to install game pass games on PC. This appears to be a common issue and can be resolved with some tinkering with your PC and Microsoft account. Here’s one user’s say on the matter.

I recently added the Game Pass 14 day trial to my account. It’s pretty good and has decent games for it’s small price, though I can’t install any of the game included

Fix the error by following the steps below.

Why does Xbox Game Pass doesn’t work on PC?

1. Server Error

If you are facing the problem with any specific game in Game Pass then the issue can be with the developers or the Microsoft Windows store. At times, the server may get busy or down for maintenance.
Developers usually update the users about any issue on their official media account like Twitter or on the official developer website. So make sure you check the official social media account of the developer to see if the game servers are down.

2. Change Region on your PC

Then, click on Start and select Settings.
Select the Time and Language option.
Click on Region under Time and Language.
Click the drop-down menu for Country or Region and select one of the countries that were listed on the Game Pass supported country page, here.
Reboot the computer (optional). Launch the Microsoft Store and try to install the Game Pass game.

4. Run Windows Store Troubleshooter

Click on Start and select Settings.
Choose Update and security.
Click on Troubleshoot option.
Scroll down and click on Windows Store Apps and click on Run the Troubleshooter.
The troubleshooter will scan the system for any problem related to the Windows Store and recommend fixes accordingly.
Wait for the fixes to apply and then relaunch Windows Store. Check if the error is resolved and if you are able to install Game Pass games.
