Cannot access the beta
You just marked the other thread as solved, even though it wasn't. So, let's start again.
I received an Xbox code for the beta of CFB 26.
I have used the code and installed a 346MB beta install file.
When I try to launch the beta to play the game, it doesn't download the larger file.
Instead, I receive the message, "You're too early. We know you really want to get started, but you'll have to wait a bit longer. Check Microsoft Store for the launch date."
The launch date for the beta is today. Others are saying that they've accessed the beta. So, there's an issue somewhere.
One suggestion was to reset the Xbox. I've done that multiple times, including a hard refresh by holding down the illuminated Xbox button on my console. The issue remains.
When I go to My Games and Apps > Full Library > Owned Games, College Football 26 shows as "Pre-ordered." As an FYI, I have pre-ordered it if that makes a difference.
There isn't a unique display for a CFB26 beta if that matters, even though I have successfully entered the code.
And I have just solved my own issue. If you're like me and having this issue, ignore all the advice about resetting the console. That's not the issue.
Also, don't check your library under Owned Games.
What you want to do instead is go to My Games & Apps > See All > Full Library.
Stay there rather than tabbing over to Owned Games.
Scroll down to the letter C, which will take a minute if you're like me and have Game Pass Ultimate.
You're looking for CF26 College Test Realm, NOT CFB 26.
When you find CF26 College Test Realm, click the button to install, and the download should begin.
The preorder is what is causing the confusion. I hope this helps!
Nobody touch any of my five-star recruits in Dynasty mode.
