    Can I use games shared on my home xbox on my pc with play anywhere games?


    I want to play forza horizon 3 but it was redeemed to my parent's account when it first came out so I have been using it through the home xbox shared games since. I want to run it on my pc but it it doesn't show up in my library to download in the xbox app or xbox store.

    :)

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    I apologize but the Home Xbox feature is only available on the Xbox console and not on PC.

    No as home console is only a console feature

    You can play games included on your profile as play anywhere

    Xbox Gold and play anywhere

    Hello Jim,

    In this reply, I hope that the explanation given will clear things up and further assist with the issue being experienced.

    Games can be shared with multiple accounts on both PC and Xbox One.

    This will depend on if the title is an Xbox Play Anywhere title. On a Windows PC, if the account that owns a specific game on the Xbox Play
    Anywhere list installs a game onto the PC, another account will be granted access to then install it from the Microsoft store.

    On an Xbox One console, the home console has to be manually changed from one to another, and is limited in some sense.

    These would be the ways to share Xbox entitlements with various other accounts.

    Best wishes!

    Xbox and pc accounts

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Colesy82, by your description I see that there are two doubts regarding games and sharing.

    The first, it is only possible to share games (Home Console) with Xbox, this has to be done by placing the account as main on one console, and the other account as well.

    Designate a home Xbox

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    When to games, only games with the Play Anywhere badge that will be able to play at the same time on the console and PC using the same game license.

    XBOX PLAY ANYWHERE

    I hope this helps.

    Why cant I play the games I've purchased on Xbox?

    Hi! My name is Pam. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    Good question. Not all games are playable on PC. You can to check the list of Xbox play anywhere games here https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anyw...

    The account where the games are purchased must sign in the Microsoft Store to access the games as the home Xbox sharing is only designed for Xbox consoles.
