Does your server meet the requirements from the related support article – e.g. it’s not a headless server?

> [@https://support.plex.tv/articles/getting-started-with-plex-arcade/](#):
>
> ## Requirements
> 
> To use Plex Arcade, you need:
> 
> - Plex Media Server version v1.21.2 or newer (running on Windows or macOS)
> - An account from our partner ([Parsec](https://parsec.app/signup)) [linked to](https://plex.tv/users/other-services) your Plex account (make sure to confirm your Parsec account via email too)
> - An active [Plex Arcade subscription](https://www.plex.tv/arcade/) for the Plex account (this is not the same thing as a Plex Pass subscription)
> 
> > **Note** : Plex Arcade is not currently supported on “headless” servers or for Windows users using a third-party tool to run Plex Media Server “as a service”. See our [frequently asked questions](https://support.plex.tv/articles/plex-arcade-faq/) article for some more information.
