Hi, having also wondered this as I just got Game Pass for PC simply because its such a good deal, here is what I found:
Despite installing the game into my E: drive, the .exe file is still located in my OS C: drive.
The address for Metro Exodus for example was;
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\DeepSilver.ProjectWindfall_1.0.11.0_x64__hmv7qcest37me
The application file has no icon or anything and trying to launch the game using this exe will display the error:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriete permissions to access the item.
This is despite me having full access over the folder and its subcontents (otherwise microsoft doesnt allow you to even open them in the first place). It seems like regardless of being able to access the .exe, only the Xbox Game Pass (Beta) app allows it to
be run.
