Potentially a very niche issue: Game will not install despite repeated attempts and resets, possibly due to cloud gaming.

:xsx: Xbox Series X

Dead by Daylight recently had a classic initialization error, so I uninstalled it (reinstalling solved the issue last time this happened) and upon pressing install the menu reacted properly but the game did not start installing.

I did not uninstall the games add-ons before trying to reinstall and I had opened it with cloud gaming shortly beforehand, because I didn’t understand how I could play it without it being installed (potentially a mistake).

Apparently there’s some sort of server issue happening presently so waiting it out may work, but the “play with cloud gaming” icon overwriting the “install” icon in the Microsoft store has me concerned.
