Cant install an owned play anywhere game on pc from xbox app

Ahh thanks for the help resetting the app fixed it

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

If you click on the game in the main home screen (where it shows "Recently Added") you can install it there. It's only when you go to the full details screen that the frown face shows. Seems to be a bit of a glitch at the moment. You can also search for it in the Microsoft Store app and can install it there.

If it still doesn't work, try to reset and repair your Xbox App by going to Settings > Apps > scroll down and look for Xbox App > Advanced options > Reset and then Repair.

Is it possible to install an xbox game on pc and play it?

Hello, This is Elijah.

Microsoft/Xbox allows players to "Buy once, Play Anywhere" on PC or Xbox. The game list is extensive but does not cover all.

Simply visit

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere

if you own the game (make sure to sign in first) you can play any of those games, on PC or Xbox.

Xbox Game Pass Owners have access to the Xbox App (PC) games that are installable to PC and Xbox.

Visit https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-for-pc for Xbox App (PC) for the official app for PC.

Hi,

Ori and the Will of the Wisps is an Xbox Play Anywhere title. This means that it can be downloaded from the Windows 10 Store.

Ori and the Blind Forest is not a Play Anywhere title. To download the PC version of this game from the PC Game Pass you need the PC Game Pass App installed.

Xbox App

Hi Burger5,

You should be able to play any games that are marked as Play Anywhere, here are the list of games you can play on console and PC if you own them

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere. If you have Game Pass Ultimate, you will be able to play any PC game and any Xbox play anywhere game that's on the Game Pass Ultimate list.

You can also use the Xbox Console Companion app on PC to stream your games from your console into your PC, no need to purchase the games you own.

I hope this helps.
