Can't install Forza Horizon 5 on PC via Microsoft's store/xbox app

Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If you can't find or install the DLC expansions for Forza Horizon 5 on your PC, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check account and platform compatibility first: Make sure you're using the same Microsoft account on both your Xbox and PC. Also, confirm that the DLC expansions you purchased are compatible with the PC version of Forza Horizon 5. Some DLC may be exclusive to the Xbox console and not available for PC.

Then verify ownership and installation: On your PC, open the Microsoft Store app and navigate to the Forza Horizon 5 page. Check if the DLC expansions you own are listed as purchased or available for installation. If they appear as your own, try clicking the "Install" button to start the installation process.

We can also try checking for updates: make sure Forza Horizon 5 and the Microsoft Store app on your PC are up to date. Sometimes updates can resolve compatibility issues and allow DLC to be installed. Launch the Microsoft Store app, click the three dots in the top right corner, and select "Downloads and Updates" to check for available updates.

If the above has not worked, reinstall the game: If the DLC expansions still do not appear for installation, try uninstalling and reinstalling Forza Horizon 5 on your PC. This can update the game data and allow the DLC to be recognized and installed correctly.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

Forza Horizon 5 will not install on PC. Error code. Microsoft store doesn't work either. Xbox app, doesn't work. Tried all options given from "fix here" nothing works.

Hi One

I see that you’re trying to install the game using the Microsoft store

If you don’t mind please open the Xbox app in your PC and try installing Forza horizon 5 from there one more time (or download if you don’t have the app)

as long as you are signed into the xbox app and store with the same account as your xbox then any digital games that are play anywhere (i.e forza horizon 4 and 5) will be available via the xbox app on the pc, any games that are not play anywhere will have to be purchased again and a lot of the games are not even available via the microsoft store on pc and only on others like steam, epic, origin etc etc.

Disc based games will not be available to use on pc full stop.
