    How to copy game file to another PC? (GAMEPASS)


    Me and my brothers live in the same house and using different PC. We are trying to save bandwidth by only downloading on 1 PC, then copying the game file to another 2 PCs. Downloading 1 game (around 80GB) takes a whole day. There is no way for us to download the same game to all 3 PCs.

    Game: Remnant 2

    We have tried:
    1. Copying the game normally. But we were prevented by No Permission. Same result after trying to take ownership of Everything.
    2. 3rd party backup software (Easeus) to copy and paste. But we were hit with Unsupported 16-bit application error message.

    :)

    Becausr the files you need can't be copied

    Hi John, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Some installation files can't be copied, but you do have the option to move it, but it won't achieve the result you want.

    I had downloaded files on external harddisk from another computer and then copied files to xbox games in C drive....
    This is likely the reason why. PC games on the Xbox App have additional protections that prevents files being used from a different install of the game on another computer. If you want to play this on your PC, you need to download the game from the Xbox App directly to your PC.

    Xbox Games compatible with the Xbox Pc App

    Play anywhere is a separate copy of the game and are only covers digital copies

    You are better off using gamepass at that point

    Computers use exes or coms files and with xbox games are also encrypted

    Vs consoles they use encrypted xvd files

    You can use gamepass to access the game, or you can purchase it again.

    The xbox console copy of the game is not the same as the PC copy, as it's a different platform
