How to install games on Xbox One Whether you buy a game on disc or download it from the Microsoft Store, you need to install it on your console’s hard drive before you can play it. On this page.
Xbox One users now can remotely buy a game and have it automatically downloaded to their console, courtesy of the latest update.
With a rollout that started Sunday, the Xbox One August update offers 'one of the most requested features' based on Xbox feedback, according to Xbox Live chief Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson.
Specifically, gamers will be able to use the Xbox SmartGlass app or access the Xbox.com website to remotely buy games and add on content. Assuming your Xbox One is set up to automatically accept updates, that means your console will start downloading the game or other content right after you purchase it.
To keep current Xbox One owners happy and potentially draw in more buyers, Microsoft updates the console each month with new features and enhancements. Those updates are based on feedback from current users. The next major update for September has already started rolling out to members of the Xbox Live preview program, and promises a slew of new features, including a revamped Party App, a new Friends section, a boot-to-TV option, and updates to SmartGlass.
Also packaged into the August update is a change to your activity feed, specifically in the way you interact with your friends. Tweaked with a new one-column layout, the activity feed will let you post text to your feed and like or comment on other items in the feed. In turn, you'll be notified if someone likes, comments on, or shares the items that you post. You can share game clips and other items with your friends either publicly or privately, according to Hryb.
What else does the August update carry?
Your friends list now shows you how long a specific friend has been online. The Blu-ray player app supports 3D Blu-ray. A notification pops up when your controller's battery gets low. And finally, you can turn off notifications while watching videos.
'Today (Sunday), we will begin rolling out the next Xbox One system update to fans around the world, which will include improved social features to make sharing your gaming experiences with friends better and easier,' Hryb said in his blog post. 'These new features are a result of your invaluable feedback, including some of the most requested features seen on Xbox Feedback.'
The update is scheduled to reach all Xbox One users over the next few days.

I have tried ALL of these suggestions.. they do NOT work. Same thing happened to me.. here is my story that I'm posting everywhere since microsoft customer service is HORRIBLE and I'm waiting for DAYS for them to fix this -- My suggestion is do what I'm doing: CALL MICROSOFT AND SAY THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR DAYS FOR THEM TO FIX THEIR OWN MISTAKES!!! Its been three days and I'm STILL waiting.. now they say it may take 5 days to look at it. :(
I recently purchased, albeit late in the game, a 360 with Kinect. I went online to xbox live and purchased (or attempted to purchase) my very first game: “Kung Fu High Impact.”
I entered my credit card information, and I was billed. Then the online system gave me an error. The money was refunded but I never got the game.
Shortly thereafter, I attempted to purchase the same game a second time. I was billed again. However, it never gave me the game and this time it did not provide a refund. I contacted Microsoft technical support. In fact, I contacted them three (3) different times over a period of 24 hours. I explained that if they could not immediately provide me with the game, then just refund my money. I was told that it would take ‘days’ to refund my money since they had to submit the claim to their superiors.
I was told one time that it would take 2-3 days for technical support to address the issue. Yesterday, I was told by technical support that it may take up to 5 days!!
This is HORRIBLE customer service/support. I paid for the game. I have NOT been provided with the game. And worse yet, it takes DAYS to possibly be provided with a refund and/or resolution of the issue. I have already spent HOURS with technical support and I have made no progress.
This experience is inexcusable. I realize everybody said that online gaming on xbox was better than ps3, but I must say, I 100% totally disagree. I’ve NEVER had sooooooo many problems. In fact, I don’t EVER remember having to wait possibly FIVE (5) days before somebody ‘tries’ to resolve the issue for any other product that I have EVER purchased. And again, this is NOT an error on my part. I paid for the game. Online it shows that I paid for the game. But nobody at Microsoft can explain why I can’t be provided with a link to download the game nor have they provided me with a refund.
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE customer support, or lack thereof!! At this point, I told Microsoft to fix the problem. Since I can’t get a refund anytime soon, now I want them to fix the problem and provide me with the game. I’m particularly interested in seeing how long it takes them to fix their own screw up over a $15 game. Not only have they lost a customer, but worse, they have gained a tremendous amount of negative feedback!
Steps To Download Game After Purchase On Xbox Website Free
PS: I was provided with a free 1 month gold membership. However, as I politely explained to technical support (or perhaps not so politely), if I CANNOT download the very first game I paid for, then what the hell am I going to do with a 30 day membership? NOTHING WORKS!
