If you installed the game via the Xbox app on PC, then you might have hit play and gotten a blue screen window to pop up instead of the actual game. The beta build is still being properly rolled out, so problems will still arise, according to community director Brian Jarrard.

For PC players, you can either install the game via Steam or wait for the Xbox PC app problems to be resolved.
