The Xbox app on Windows 11 and 10 helps users bring their consoles and PCs together. However, the experience isn’t always seamless, and you can face the occasional bug or glitches. 

In this article, we’re looking at the “sorry we’re having trouble showing the details of this perk right now” error in the Xbox app that happens when you’re trying to redeem your Xbox Game Pass perks. 


Redeeming Xbox perks

Try out these methods to see if you can solve the problem.

Use the proper account

First up, make sure you’re using the right account with an active Xbox Game Pass subscription. If you’re using another account to redeem a different account’s perks, the process won’t work. You should also check to see whether your subscription has expired or not.


Claim the perks on another device

If you have your Xbox lying around or the Xbox app on your phone, you can log in to your account and redeem your perks from there. Since your account and its benefits are synchronised across devices, you’ll get them on your PC right away. 


Update the Xbox app

Outdated apps can often cause problems, especially when using subscription-based services like Game Pass. Try checking the Microsoft Store to see if there are any updates for the Xbox app and if there are, install them right away, then try again. 


Clear the Microsoft Store cache

Clearing the Microsoft Store cache can also help Windows apps work fine. 

Step 1: Press Windows key + I to open Windows Settings. Once in, click Apps.
