Dying Light The Beast Not Working on Xbox Fix Guide

If Dying Light The Beast isn’t showing up in your Xbox library, you’re not the only one. Players on Xbox Series X and Series S are running into a broken preload, missing base game files, or a grayed-out install button. Even after launch, the game often appears as “Not Currently Available,” or it only shows the preorder bonus add-on with no option to download the actual game.

This guide shows how to fix the Xbox install issue for Dying Light The Beast and explains why it happened in the first place.

Why Dying Light The Beast won’t install on Xbox

The base game was removed from preload because some users found ways to unlock it early. Techland pulled the preload access entirely on Xbox to stop early access. But they didn’t update listings correctly, so many players who preordered were left with broken store pages or missing files.

If you preordered the Standard, Deluxe, or Ultimate Edition, it may only show the Hero of Harran DLC under Manage Game. The full game doesn't show under Owned Games, and it won’t install unless you force it from the store directly.

How to fix Dying Light The Beast install issues on Xbox

These are the most reliable ways players have been able to get the game to install after launch:

Search for the base game in the store

Use the Xbox Store and search for Dying Light The Beast manually. Click on the version you preordered. Scroll all the way down to the Included in this bundle section. Scroll right until you see the base game listed separately. Click that, then choose Install. This has worked for most players.

Sign out and back into your Xbox account

This refreshes your license. Some players reported the game instantly showed up in their library after logging back in.

Use the Xbox mobile app

Search for the game in the app and select Install to Console. This only works after the store backend updates. If it gives you a 50 GB placeholder file, delete it and try again after a few hours.

Try the “Not Currently Available” button repeatedly

Some users clicked this until it updated and allowed installation. It’s buggy but worked for a few players.

Look under My Games & Apps > Full Library > Owned Games

Sometimes it appears here even when not visible on the store. If it does, you can install it directly from this screen.

Is it fixed now?

For most users, yes. The store listings eventually synced a few hours after launch. If it’s still not working for you, try every fix above in order, especially the manual store method and account sign-out.

This was caused by a Microsoft Store licensing issue. It affected preorders and Ultimate Editions across all Xbox consoles.

Final Blurb

Dying Light The Beast not showing up on Xbox was a launch mess, but not a surprise. The game was pulled from preload, hidden from libraries, and broken across editions. Thankfully, most players can now get it installed using the store workaround or by refreshing their account. If it’s still bugged, check the bundle listing manually and install from there. Once it’s in your system, everything runs as normal.
