I signed up for the xbox game pass for pc (beta) today. After downloading the app I found that signing in to said app was completely broken. After some googling I found a workaround, if I sign in to a completely different app (xbox companion) that would also sign me in to the xbox game pass app.

Then I tried to download a game (The Outer Wilds). The download just sat at 0 bytes. I tried several things so I'm not positive what actually fixed it, but I think what did it is I located the folder it created for game downloads, which I did not even have permission to view, and forced an ownership change of the folder to my user.

Granted this is a beta but... not looking good for usability so far.

The sad thing is the xbox game pass has been working for PC for ages now and a year ago the process was simpler.
