To fix the OMEN Gaming Hub "Xbox Free Trial" issue where only the Xbox app opens, ensure both the OMEN Gaming Hub and the Xbox app are fully updated via the Microsoft Store, restart your system, clear the cache for both apps, and sign in with the correct Microsoft account in the Xbox app. If the problem persists, try directly accessing the offer in the Xbox app or checking the OMEN and Xbox support pages for known issues.

@BhavyaJain0219,

 

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

 

When you click XBOX FREE TRIAL in OMEN Gaming Hub, it should normally direct you to a promotion redemption page inside the Xbox app. If the Xbox app just opens without showing the offer, try the following:

 

  1. Check Eligibility

    • The free trial offer is usually for new Xbox Game Pass members only. If you already used a Game Pass trial before, the offer won’t appear.

  2. Sign In Correctly

    • Open the Xbox app directly.

    • Make sure you are signed in with the same Microsoft account you want to use for Game Pass.

  3. Redeem from Microsoft Instead

    • In the Xbox app, look under Game Pass → Join → Try for free.

    • If eligible, the free trial should show there.

  4. Update OMEN Gaming Hub

    • Open Microsoft Store → Library → Update all apps.

    • Make sure OMEN Gaming Hub and Xbox app are both up to date.

  5. If Still No Offer

    • It usually means your account is not eligible (e.g., you’ve had Game Pass before). In this case, you can only subscribe at the regular rate.

 

In short: The button in Gaming Hub is just a shortcut. The actual redemption happens inside the Xbox app, and if you don’t see the trial there, it means your Microsoft account isn’t eligible anymore.

 

Kind Regards,
