Some users recently complained that the app wouldn’t load their profile or worse, games would not populate. (We didn’t see it ourselves, but it was reported in our forums often enough).

One of the complaints cropping up with Windows Phone 8.1 was performance issues with the Xbox Games app. Like Xbox Video and Xbox Music, the Games hub is also no longer in the OS, but rather a separate, updatable app.

Today, version 2.0.1404.16001 has gone live in the Store, and we’re hearing from you folks that it fixes a lot of issues.

With Windows Phone 8.1, you should get the update automatically at some point, or you can always force-check it by heading into Settings > Check for Updates within the Store app. But if want easy, we’ll give you the link and QR as usual.

Since there is no changelog, if you notice anything else that is new, sound off in comments.

Pick up Xbox Games for Windows Phone 8.1 here in the Store. Thanks, Sachinmeet and Nitty M., for the tips!
