FlyingSteven · Apr 11, 2017

I buy Gears of War 4 for Xbox. How can I install and play this game on my Windows 10 PC. I cannot find any installation option under Windows... when I visit the store with my xbox profile on pc, I just see a button to buy GOW4 again for Windows 10.

When you purchase an Xbox Play Anywhere game digitally, it’s yours to play on both Xbox and Windows 10. You need to purchase the digital game via the Web Store on your Xbox or Windows 10 device and it’ll appear in your game library wherever you sign in.

If you purchased the game on Xbox and want to play it on Windows 10, sign in on your Windows 10 device. If the game is already installed on your device, it’ll appear in your list of apps. Otherwise, you can install it by opening the Store and selecting My
library.

If you purchased the game on Windows 10 and want to play it on your Xbox console, sign in on your console and go to My games & apps. If the game is already installed, it’ll appear in your game list. Otherwise, you can find it in the Ready to install section.

Hey FlyingSteven,

Are you signed into the Windows 10 PC with the same account that digitally owns Gears of War 4? If so, navigate to 'My library' within the Windows Store app on Windows 10 and Gears of War 4 should be listed in your library. If you don't see it there, your
Windows 10 PC may need to be updated. You can update your PC by searching 'Check for updates' within the Start Menu.

Hope this helps!
