downloading a game that I own on Xbox to pc

nvnv1 · Nov 13, 2021

I recently bought Forza horizon 5 on my Xbox. However when I go to download it to play on my pc from the play anywhere microsoft6 website, and Microsoft store. The only option is to buy it again. I have done everything restarted both consoles and made sure the account was correct. Even though the game is said to be play anywhere(which i why I bought it on my Xbox) I cant seem to do that.

These steps can help you, give it a try.
Check for updates on Windows Update, update everything including optional/additional updates.
1. Logout from Xbox app and Microsoft Store app
2. Look for the Xbox app and Microsoft Store app in the Windows menu, right-click, click app settings and then click terminate, restore and reset.
3. Clear the store cache type ''wsreset'' in the Windows bar, run as admin, and wait for the screen to close and open the store automatically.
4. Open the Microsoft Store app, click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner>downloads updates>get updates and update everything.
5. Restart your PC, log in to both apps and see if that solves the problem.

Make sure the account you purchased the game is the same one you use on the Microsoft Store app.

None of these options helped me. I even uninstalled the game in order to download it again, but now it doest even give me the download option. It only shows me the option to purchase it again...

What game is it? Not all games can be downloaded on the PC just for owning it on the Xbox.
