Apple Arcade games don’t work on Apple TV HD

I have downloaded some Apple Arcade games on my iPhone 11 after I subscribed on my iPhone 11. For some reason it won’t download on my app TV HD even though both of my devices are running the latest software. I have tried everything I can to tried to make it work. From restart to sign out of my iCloud account and sign back in. It didn’t fix the problem. So, do anyone have other solutions that might be helpful?

There are some Apple Arcade apps that require Apple TV 4K rather than Apple TV HD. Ideally incompatible titles shouldn't download, but The Pathless is one that I have managed to install on my ATV HD, but it won't play. What titles are involved? Do you get any error messages and if so what are they?

I am having the same issue. When I download new games on my Apple TV that I never downloaded before on any other device, they came downloads. When I try to download games I’ve already downloaded on other devices, it gives me the same message and will start downloading then abruptly stop. Also, if I click to download one of my previously downloaded games that I already have on my iPad, it automatically tries to download all previously downloaded games, even though I only wanted to download one a specific one. However, they all show up to download on the Home Screen then when they’re about to finish downloading they disappear. Shame on Apple for this.
