Bellingham Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 With the new XBOX Game Pass Ultimate account, you can install certain Game Pass titles on a PC as well as the XBOX -- is there any way to add them to LB yet? I may be missing something obvious but I can't seem to find a way to locate them on my PC and then point LB at them. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

SirTay Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I would also like to know this. Might currently be a challenge with the way Game Pass is designed. I don't think we have full control over the .exe files, but hopefully someone is able to figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However due to there nature they can not be simply dragged and dropped to Launchbox like other .exe's. There is a work around however, if you right click them and choose create shortcut it will say it cant create a shortcut here and do you want to put it on the desktop? So do that, you could just make a folder called Windows Games or something and just drop in all the shortcuts you want to create and drag and drop that folder to Launchbox to import all the games you created shortcuts for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Sorry my mistake, you need to access the folder via command prompt first. shell:AppsFolder Which takes you here where you can create the shortcuts from. Forza Horizon 4 in my Gamepass. And here it is imported into Launchbox. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neosean99 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 This tip saved me some frustration! I have a game pass account, but it will not let me open the folder directory to where the games are installed to add them into Launchbox. Adding the shortcuts resolved! THIS COMMUNITY AND LAUNCHBOX OWNS!!! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
