Forza Horizon 4 ms store version exchange to steam version possible somehow?

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. The exchange is not possible because the license is from the Microsoft Store, the license in steam is different.

Game licenses are not transferable between accounts, especially between launchers, in case the Microsoft Store is one, steam and another.

*Thank you in advance for contacting.

they won't switch the game for you as steam take a cut when purchased through them, I to am in the process of testing and slowly moving to Linux as proton works a charm now and now anticheat is also getting a move on and battleye works too, the future is looking better, especially ditching Microsofts haphazard useless OS.

Hi,

Afraid not. The steam version is a separate game, the Windows 10 Store version can't be exchanged.

It wouldn't be so much of an issue if MS hadn't decided that nearly all of their games were installed to the encrypted WindowsApps folder that you can't backup.

I know that! I just want to share my general disgust with having the game on MS Store!

Here's one of the reasons why:

To install the game I open MS Store app, cannot find the game there anywhere in my library. I have to click purchases upon where it opens a website with my purchases ... There I have to click the game title ... then it opens the page where I can finally find an install button .... except no! That button wants to open a link in MS Store app! .... there FINALLY it opens a page with the game and a final INSTALL button! [mod removed] Microsft? Slap left, slap right for you! Your Store is absolute [mod removed[!

I also would be interested in exchanging my Win 10 Store copy with the Steam copy.
