This is the fix! (M1 Mac Parallels Arm Windows 11 User)

1. Right-click the Start button in the lower-left corner of the main screen, and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. In the Administrator: Windows PowerShell screen, type the following command and press Enter:
   Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers
   

Until I did the above I was just as stuck as everyone else and had almost given up, thinking most games simply would not install.

 

Unable to download Game Pass games in Xbox app on Windows 11 ARM

I encountered the same issue. I run windows 11 arm on apple M1 chip in a Parallels virtual machine. I tried two weeks--dozens of hours. I contacted Microsoft support, Xbox support, and they listed all possible solutions for me but none of them work.

Then, I turned to Parallels. Their answer is quite straightforward: No, windows 11 arm does not support most Xbox games. I'd say this is at least good news among bad news, meaning that I don't need to waste my time trying anymore.

But I am very disappointed with Xbox and Microsoft's support regarding not announcing that they do not support windows 11 arm. If they could have identified this issue and told us gamers directly, I hadn't need to waste so much time on troubleshooting (I tried every possible procedure as you did and far beyond that). Shame on that.

Here are some games I successfully installed with my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate:

• The long dark
  
• It takes two
  
• Spiritfarer
  
• Archvale
  
• Enter the Gungeon
  
• Bridge Constructor Portal

Apple M1 iMac running Windows 11 ARM as a VM under Parallels 17. Not a big issue for me as I don’t play any games on Windows that requires a game pad but would have liked to play some of the Gamepass games that don’t install.
