Download and Update buttons doing nothing.

My library not showing any games (this is happening as I’m typing this article).

Here’s a small sampling of the bugs I’ve encountered across versions: The bugs and updates are what kill the Xbox app for me, though. The tagging system would help on the quality of life front, but not when half of the library is mismarked (including some first-party Microsoft titles!) And you can’t move your installation folder or see what the latest patches are for your games.

You can’t see your playtime or organize your installed games into groups.

These issues are just a small sample of the larger quality of life problems plaguing the Xbox app. Why is this a filter on a PC? And more importantly, why does it only include five games? Is this useful to anyone? For example, you can filter by “60fps+” capabilities, but you’ll only find five games. A lot of the tags don’t make sense, either. Microsoft uses tags to note the capabilities of each game, but they don’t filter those games in the results. Only a fraction of the Play Anywhere games show up with the filter, even though a good chunk of the library supports Play Anywhere. I like to switch between my Xbox and my PC, so I’ve grown attached to Xbox’s Play Anywhere games (which let you transfer progress between the two systems). The filters thatsearch through Game Pass’ massive library don’t work. It’s prone to bugs, horribly disorganized, and missing essential features that make platforms like Steam tick.ĭisorganization is the silent killer. I’ve used PC Game Pass since it launched two years ago, and the Xbox app has always been the most consistent pain point. The problem with PC Game Pass is the Xbox app. I’ve used PC Game Pass since it launched, and I can tell you that the name isn’t - and never was - the problem. It’s enough of an issue, at least, that Microsoft decided to make a trailer about it for The Game Awards. I’ve had a few friends this year get into PC gaming, totally unaware that they could access hundreds of games for a few bucks each month. Although Microsoft offers PC Game Pass alone, most people are getting it through a Game Pass Ultimate subscription (which includes the console and PC versions, as well as Xbox Live).
