Confused!!! Xbox and PC gaming

1. play anywhere means if you bye on pc xbox app your get on console and vice versa, be warned there is not many games at all that are part of this program.

2. cloud usually uses your account and any cloud saves you have so you can carry on where you left off. as cloud gaming on the xbox network uses xbox consoles (kind off) in the datacenters then the saves will only work if the game is on console and is not cross save.

3. cloud saves will work for xbox console and xbox app games if it states cloud save enabled, some microsoft games like halo and sea of thieves that are also on steam have cross save too (not all games), most games on other platforms like origin, epic will not be cross save compat with xbox network.

Xbox Play Anywhere: Yes, saves sync between platforms on Xbox Play Anywhere games. So your progress on the console carry over to the PC and vice-versa.

Cloud Enabled: It means that if you have a Game Pass Subscription, you can play the game on any platform by cloud gaming. The game is streamed through a Xbox Series console, so you would play the console version of the game. But only some games (usually Xbox Play Anywhere) saves will carry over from the Cloud gaming to the PC installed version. Most will only carry over to the console installed version.

Xbox Cloud Saves: Saves will only carry over if the game is a Xbox Play Anywhere game or if the game supports cross save, but most games that are not Xbox Play Anywhere games do not support cross save between platforms.

And the Xbox app will only list games that can be played on the PC. So your console games will not be shown there.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

It should work, since the DLC is tied to your account, playing the game via XCloud will allow you to use the add-ons you own.

Try checking them on the Microsoft Store on your PC.

From My games & apps > See all > Full library, highlight (but don’t select) the base game.

Press the Menu button on your controller, and then select Manage Game and add-ons.

Select See in Microsoft Store and check that the item you’re looking for is part of the game that you bought.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, repair the XBOX app installation:

Press the Windows Key+X > Select Apps > Search for XBOX > Advanced > Repair

Let me know if it works!

Unfortunately it didn't. I saw when I went to load the game up on my pc it says "1 of 5 editions" so I'm not really sure if its a game, cloud or service problem. :/
