Ark Genesis separate on Xbox and Windows 10.

Arctodus517 · Feb 2, 2020

I thought I would ask something here, as I cannot find the issue anywhere else.

I recently went to buy the ark Genesis DLC From my laptop through the Microsoft store. I made the purchase and then realized that Ark Genesis on Xbox is separate from the Windows 10 content.

Anyone know why this is? It's the same game on Game Pass for both. So to have the DLC for a cross platform game you have to buy it twice? How does this seem fair to customers? Seems like it's only a cash grab from the powers-that-be either Microsoft or wild
card

I was at least able to get a refund for the mistaken Windows 10 version, at least I can apply that to the purchase of the Xbox version. So there is that at least.

You shouldn't have to buy it twice. The game is an Xbox Play Anywhere game, so if you purchase the dlc from Windows 10, you should be able to download it to the console at no extra cost. Check to make sure you are using the same account on both the Xbox
One and Windows 10. If you are not, then that will be why you are being asked to pay for it again.

If the game is different for Xbox vs. PC then it should be the same on GamePass. The Xbox version won't load on a PC.
