How do I Remotely install and manage games to my pc that i have purchased?

Hi,

At the moment you can't install PC games remotely.

GTA V is not an Xbox Play Anywhere title. If you want to play this game on your PC you'll to purchase it for PC. Microsoft do not currently sell the PC version. You'd need to get it from Steam, Epic Games or directly from the Rockstar website.

The Microsoft Store app doesn't really appear to be able to connect with my Xbox account in any meaningful way. It displays ads for me to buy Game pass for PC or Game Pass Ultimate, and when I select a game it tries to install it on my PC.

Do you know why Microsoft created so many apps that have "Xbox" in the title that don't actually connect to Xbox? It's confusing and bad UX. It's also a bizarre choice to have features like Remote Install/Download and Remote Play for Xbox but not allow basic stuff like viewing your game library and managing installs.

try to log into your xbox account from a pc, in my games and apps squeeze all your purchased games and from there you can install them, you only have to have remote installations activated

Am I to understand if there is an Xbox version and I purchase same that I can play on PC remotely? I think the caveat is that I also have to purchase game pass for PC. You might ask how I know this? I have downloaded Doom II on my Xbox and was told by the program that I needed PC Game Pass..

The link below has the instructions for setting up and the conditions required to do remote installs onboth PC and Xbox. Would be worth checking you have it all set up correctly.

They're not trying to install on an Xbox One, they are trying to install on a PC, not via a PC. Which is the reason why I asked what game it was.

Why do so many people on these forums not realise that 'Xbox' is not all about just the console anymore?
