Install or remove a game on an Xbox console

To install, open the Game Pass or game library/store interface, select the title, and choose the install action. Xbox Support provides an Install games page, but its currently available page extract does not establish a detailed menu sequence. For uninstalling, use the options presented by your console for that game; if the controls differ or are unclear, consult Xbox Support rather than assuming the PC app’s right-click steps apply.

Download the game or stream it?

Local installation downloads game files to the device. For supported titles, Xbox also offers cloud gaming through the PC app, which lets you stream instead of downloading. Availability depends on the title and your plan, device, and region; check the current Xbox app for whether a game can be streamed for you. Xbox PC app and cloud gaming

Why a game in the Xbox app may not be a Game Pass install

The Xbox PC app can show an aggregated library that includes titles from other supported PC storefronts. Xbox Wire reported this library capability on September 15, 2025, including supported storefront games in My Library. As a result, seeing a game in the app does not by itself mean it is installed locally or that it is a Game Pass title. Check the game’s availability and install status in the app before managing it.
