Unlike a lot of other Game Pass game issues, this one is nice and easy to resolve, though not something most people will check.
- First, make sure you have the EA Games app installed on your computer and that you have linked your Microsoft account (the one you are using for your Game Pass sub) to your EA account. You can do this manually, or via the automated method that pops up if you launch another EA game. If you want to trigger the process I would suggest doing so via one of the FIFA games.
- Once you have done this, make sure the Xbox app and the EA Games app is open on your computer, and that you are signed into both.
- Now simply, search for Mass Effect Legendary Edition on the EA Games app, then click Download when it appears.
- You can now simply follow the standard installation process to install the game as you like. After a system restart, everything should be working again, however, you may not see Mass Effect Legendary Edition in the Xbox app, so you will have to continue using the EA Games app to play the game.
Another option? Uninstall and Reinstall the EA Games app.
If the first option didn't work for you, the next best thing you can try is installing the EA Games app. Performing a Restart, then reinstalling it again. This should reset the issue and allow you to download and install Mass Effect Legendary Edition, though it still won't allow you to access it from the Xbox app.
Run the Recovery Utility under the Help menu in the EA Games App.
Another working solution is to run the Recovery Utility in the EA Games app. To do this, open the EA Games app, click the Hamburger icon, in the top left-hand corner, then click Help and select the option. Once the utility completes, you should be able to install ME: LE without issue.
