24 Entertainment and NetEase Games Montréal did release NARAKA: BLADEPOINT in 2021 which offers up to 60-player PVP mythical action-adventure combat battle-royale video game with martial arts combat, gravity-defying mobility, customizable heroes, and more. Though the title has received thousands of positive reviews, it seems that several players are facing the Naraka Bladepoint Not Launching issue on the Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Microsoft offers Xbox Game Pass for Windows PC and Xbox console users to get a high-quality wide range of video games to play at a lower subscription cost rather than purchasing each game at a one-time higher cost. Unfortunately, multiple Xbox Game Pass users are unable to launch and play Naraka Bladepoint on their respective PC or Xbox console for a while. Mostly the game doesn’t start via the Xbox Game Pass platform which feels frustrating.

Fix: Naraka Bladepoint Not Launching on Xbox Game Pass

It’s also worth mentioning that a couple of Naraka Bladepoint players are experiencing a random disconnection issue on the PC. So, whenever players are trying to launch the game again, it disconnects and reconnects again. Whereas some of them are unfortunate enough to encounter networking connectivity issues which also trouble a lot in terms of multiplayer joining. Luckily, there are some workarounds mentioned below that can fix the issue for you.

1. Try again after some time

First of all, you should check whether the Xbox Game Pass app is working fine or not. Sometimes the Xbox Live service may get interrupted due to several reasons and can affect the Xbox Game Pass service too at the server level. So, you should cross-check the Xbox Live Status info to ensure the problem. If everything seems active then you can head over to the next method. Otherwise, wait for a couple of hours and then try again.
