Games seemingly affected by this issue include Vampyr, Hollow Knight and Undertale, though it's unclear if every user has the same experience. This is where we found that players could download some things, and not others - most often getting the 0x80070005 error code. Log in to your XGP linked account and you should see a dedicated store for your Game Pass games that can be downloaded on PC. You can get the Xbox (Beta) app from the Windows Store. This is where I first found success with a few of the games, if not all of them. So if you're having trouble with the good old Windows Store, download the Xbox (Beta) app and try and download a game from there. If the Store isn't working, try downloading the Xbox (Beta) appĪs far as we can tell, the Xbox (Beta) app is supposed to be where we will eventually browse and download or Xbox Game Pass for PC games once this stumbling launch period is over.

Back up everything before you make a manual update. Warning - sometimes there's a reason Microsoft haven't rolled out a new Update to your system yet, and it might be because there's still some tinkering to do. You can skip the queue and download the latest build directly from here. If you're not convinced you have the latest Update from the automated service, it may be that it hasn't officially rolled out to your area yet. From there, you may seem some updates already pending, or you can select 'Check for updates' and see what the program throws back at you. Here's how to do it: To use the on-board Windows Update tool on your PC, just click your Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.

So if things break, first check that the next Update won't fix the problem. As Microsoft continue to try and integrate all of their services, it's sensible to assume that future Windows updates could change how the Store works and therefore how XGPPC works. Despite rolling out Xbox Game Pass for PC in mid-June, the functionality to download the games within it was included in the ironically named May 2019 update, which didn't come out for several days after XGPPC's launch.

Almost as redundant a piece of advice as 'have you tried turning it off and on again', nevertheless it's worth checking you have the very latest public version of Windows on your machine.
