    Are Steam games included in Xbox Play Anywhere?


    Hi! With Forza Horizon 5 coming to Steam on release, I was wondering if Steam versions of Xbox games that are included in the Play Anywhere program work on Xbox consoles too.

    I'd like to get FH5 on Steam but at the same time I also want to be able to play it on my Series S.

    I own the MS Store version of FH4 which allows me to play it on both my PC and XSS, without having to buy the game again. Does this apply to Steam versions too?

    I don't want to buy a game twice if I don't have to.

    :)

    no as they are from a completely different store. play anywhere is only for games that are on xbox and on windows 10 store and have been allowed to enter play anywhere by the respective dev/publisher. hence the reason why play anywhere library is so small.

    as forza is published by microsoft it will be in gamepass day one for xbox and the dreaded windows store/pc gamepass. at no extra cost if you have ultimate.

    Problems.playing xbox play anywhere on pc

    Playanywhere is just a game.tag

    Any title.that is play.anywhere will have the flag play anywhere on the xbox network.via pc.or console

    Not other platforms. Including steam

    You just goto.the xbox.store and download the game that you own that is play anywhere

    As.some.people.think playanywhere applies to steam or.ps which it doesnt

    I can't see my games on the Xbox app for PC

    only play anywhere games will be listed, if you bought games on the xbox and they are not play anywhere then they will not appear on the pc, microsoft games bought on steam are only available on steam.

    Can games purchased on www.steampowered.com be used on my x-box?

    Unfortunately games you purchase on Steam are only usable on the Steam platform.

    Some PC games can be shared between Xbox and PC, but these are most commonly Microsoft's Play Anywhere titles, but they use the Windows Store and not Steam.

    For more information on Play Anywhere titles, please follow this
