    Do I need a console for Xbox Play Anywhere games.


    I understand that with Xbox Play Anywhere titles, we can play on both Xbox and Windows 10. However, I don't have an Xbox One. If I wanted to buy a digital copy of Forza Horizon 3, for example, would I be able to fully play it on my PC without even owning
    an Xbox? Are there any setup or updates that I have to go through on the console for it to work on the PC?

    :)

    Hi JoGracious21,

    The Xbox app is extension Xbox One console wherein you can check your friends when playing online or check their achievements when you sign in your Xbox One account on the Xbox app. However, there are games that can be played on
    both Xbox One console and on Xbox app on Windows 10. These are the games that we called Xbox Play Anywhere. Xbox Play anywhere can be played even without having an Xbox One console, you just need to make sure that the game is a digital game and it is an Xbox
    Play Anywhere. For more information about the Xbox app and Xbox Play Anywhere games, I suggest that you check out the links below:

    no, you do not need an xbox for Play Anywhere games. yes, you will need to buy it digitally, and you will need to play with your gamertag on a Windows 10 PC.

    Xbox for pc

    In order to play a game on both Console and PC it needs to be an Xbox Play Anywhere title and you need to own it digitally.

    All the games are not play anywhere titles you would need an xbox one console to play most of the games.

    PC to Xbox

    Halo Wars 2 is a Xbox Game Anywhere title. Which means, if you buy one of these digital downloads on the Windows Store, or the Xbox Store for Xbox One, they will be available to download on both devices. All you need to do is sign in on your console with
    same account you purchased it for Windows.

    The entire list of Play Anywhere titles can found here: https://www.xbox.com/games/xbox-play-anywhere?xr=shellnav
