    Help with Xbox play anywhere.


    Hello,

    So I recently purchased Forza Horizon 3. The Gamestop employee told me that I could buy the game for Xbox One (actual copy) and I will be able to download the game to my PC because it will show that I own the game though my live account. When I tried to
    download the game to my PC it says I have to buy it again? So my question is do I need to re-buy the game just to play it through my computer? I'm a active duty service member so being able to take my computer on deployments is key and I would really like
    to play the game while away from my xbox. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    :)

    Need help with Xbox Play Anywhere downloading

    I have ARK: Survival Evolved digitally downloaded on my Xbox One and I'm trying to download it onto my PC via Xbox Play Anywhere. When I go to the Microsoft Store to try and install it, there is no option to install, only to buy it. Can anyone help me with
    this?

    Xbox play anywhere HELP!

    Hello,

    To use Play Anywhere you need to own the Digital Copy of the Game and you need to Sign In to the Store App with the account that owns the game.

    So I don't think that the Family program will not work.

    Xbox play anywhere HELP!

    The standard sharing features apply to Xbox Play anywhere, which means, if the Xbox console you're playing on is that family member's "Home Console", then you can play it.

    If you want to play it on a PC, it's a bit more complicated.

    The family member has to make sure, you are a member of the family on
    https://account.microsoft.com/family
    .

    Also, the family member has to have an account on the PC you want to play the game on.

    Then you will have to sign in with your own account on your PC and have the family member sign in with their family account on the Windows Store app under your account.

    There they can then download and install the Play Anywhere game that you want to play which is on their own account.

    The process on how to
    share games and apps within your family on Windows 10 is explained here
    .

    Xbox play anywhere HELP!

    Sorry, PlayAnywhere only works with digital purchases. Digital purchases are tied to a specific account which was used to buy it in the first place, hence you can't gift them like physical games. If you meant game sharing a digital purchase over multiple
    accounts on a single family console, then I am afraid it would not be PlayAnywhere for accounts other than the one which was used to purchase the game digitally. Hope this helps.
