FulchesterFred Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Game fully downloaded so no suggestion of waiting to November 8th but…..it won’t launch. Any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FulchesterFred Posted October 27, 2021 Author Share Posted October 27, 2021 And this is the message I get. As I say very weird as the completed game downloaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 SI (Neil) has said that it's going to be available on Gamepass when the game is released, so I suspect you may have to wait until then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the reply, that must be the reason. Strange it downloaded though….if it’s ready let’s be having it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I agree that it does seem strange. I will speak to SI and find out what's going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FulchesterFred Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 There is a new message now…..” we know you’re really keen to get started but you’ll have to wait to launch date”! Haha still doesn’t explain why it’s downloaded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT3R Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Thanks for the update. I would assume it's a pre-download, so that when it's released, you don't have to wait for the download, but you can immediately start playing. Some games allow that, but I don't know much at all about how gamepass works. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmond Richardson Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 That's correct. The Microsoft store will let you install games on your machine so they're ready to play for release. That way on release day you're not sat around waiting for a download to be completed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s mean haha. At my age I should be a little less excitable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
