Do I get full read/write access for games I bought on the microsoft store?

some apps are stored under your user name in the hidden folder, c:\users\yourname\appdata\roaming. but as for games most dont due to drm.

I own sea of thieves from the store and that is under an encrypted folder along with forza and even cuphead lol.

no, they are kept in an encrypted folder, if you re install windows you need to download again.

you cannot view the files and if you change the permissions then windows has a hissy fit and refuses to use them most of the time.

most of the games from microsoft are now available on steam where you do get access to the files.

Welp, while I gonna keep my gamepass subscription I won't buy any games on the MS Store, then. I absolutely would if Microsoft would let me access the games after purchasing them. No file access is just far too limiting to even consider a purchase. Hopefully
this will change at some point in future.

Hello, SPIROSRAFTOPOULOS.

I look Microsoft Store and i read the description. I saw only available on PC, so if you bought Microsoft Store you can not play this game on Xbox. :/

If you have any question i am here.

Sorry if I am wrong in writing in English.
