Can't Play Games On PC Using Xbox's Play Anywhere.

You can't play Xbox game disks on a PC. If your games are play anywhere titles (these have to be digital versions) then you will be able to play them on your PC. Here's a link to play anywhere titles: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere

What particular games are you talking about?

There are "Xbox Play Anywhere" titles, which are released both on Xbox One and PC. So if you buy it once on Xbox One or PC, you can play it on both.

However, not all Xbox games are "Play Anywhere" titles. A list of
Play Anywhere games that work both on Xbox and Windows 10 PC is here.

If it's not a Play Anywhere title, you won't be able to play that Xbox game on your PC. And Play Anywhere also only works as a download. You can't use the Xbox disc on your PC to play the game.

As for compatibility with modern Joysticks: As long as the game supports DirectInput (which almost all modern games use), you should be good.

I think you are misunderstanding what playanywhere is
