I think it's out. I just installed Minecraft and it asked me what drive I would like to use.
Pretty sure you could choose the drive before, the new difference is that it lets you choose which folder you put the game in now.

Ah ok, my bad it's been a while since I installed a game.Pretty sure you could choose the drive before, the new difference is that it lets you choose which folder you put the game in now.

When I try to install any game, it let me choose the drive, but no folder. I'm on Win 11 for the record.
Perhaps as karmic revenge for my flipness here I am now seeing the freeze on title screen bug
Have to use Apps & Features tab in general windows settings.Hey everyone, sorry to bump an older thread but figured this would be the best place to ask.
I can't seem to figure out how to move already installed games. When I go to install a game on the new xbox pc app I have a choice of where to move it, however after installed there is no way for me to access that menu/setting.
I hit the three little dots next to the game under manage installations but there is only an option to uninstall... Am I missing something?
Ran into my first issue, but also was surprised that I was able to pretty easily work my my way out of it. State of Decay 2 said there was an update available, but would just hang and now download anything. I thought this was the uh oh moment where everything would break. I was able too uninstall the game, and all of my space frees up. I decided to test downloading the game again, to the same drive and folder, which is where I really thought things would go sideways. Much to my surprise it redownloaded without issue. I figured this would be where I saw all sorts of problems and where the database would end up corrupted, but so far everything seems fine for now at least.
Yeah that's where I thought I was going with this, but the uninstall from within the app and then reinstalling actually seemingly worked as intended. By no means in it perfect, but at least being able to nuke the directory and not worry about losing drive space eliminates my largest concern with Game Pass on PC.The good thing with these installs now is that it avoids the 'lost disk space' issue with uninstalls. Worst comes to worst, you can just delete the install directory.
Yeah, wondering the same, i was trying to preload the halo infinite campaign and i suspect it swallowed some of my SSD spaceHow do I get this update? Is it through the old Xbox app or Microsoft store?

I have it installed now thanks.Get the Xbox Insider app, join the Windows Gaming preview, and pull the updates from the Windows Store. If it doesn't trigger straight away just wait a bit.
I think I have a grasp on why that fixed it for you. 0x803f8001 from the looks of things is an account permissions error of some kind (based on the context of anybody reporting this error from anything Microsoft service related). One of the things that affects account permissions, albeit indirectly, isI'd be fine if Gamepass PC would actually, you know, work. As intended.
Anyone have an actual working solution for 0x803f8001?
Installed on a new PC, login works fine, downloads work fine, region settings are correct from what I can see, yet still I can't play a single game I'm paying for. The internet, as you can imagine, is absolutely no help, since this error apparenly is not only the same id on PC and console, it's also extremely unspecific.
jesus christ. Randomly clicking "synchronize time/date" fixed it.
I swear, one of these days..

One of the things that affects account permissions, albeit indirectly, is encryption certificate authentication. And one of the things that affects that is time, a very essential component to encryption. If your clock is wrong, encryption can't work, which can then manifest all the way up as a permissions failure.
Always checking if the clock is sync as a troubleshooting step is a reasonable step in just about anything internet related.
That does make sense, absolutely. It was still pure luck to find it and in like 25 years of internet that was still a first to me.I think I have a grasp on why that fixed it for you. 0x803f8001 from the looks of things is an account permissions error of some kind (based on the context of anybody reporting this error from anything Microsoft service related).

*Edit: Not certificate authentication, all that would do is tell you the certs expired. The encryption handshake itself, which is more time sensitive and can have a window of a few hours to just minutes depending on the implementation. And the fun part with this one is it can't even tell you the clock is wrong, the handshake is implicit that the clock is already correct in the first place.
Wait, so i can transfer my save games from other platforms to the xbox side somehow..? Would love to keep my progress.
