How to play Xbox games that weren't listed on XBox PC app?

Those would only be available for the console. They are not available in the Microsoft Store for PC so you'd have to purchase them from Steam or somewhere else that carries them for PC. The website typically only carries console games so unless a game supports Play Anywhere, you'll want to make sure to use the Microsoft store app to buy games for PC.

Is it possible to install an xbox game on pc and play it?

Hello, This is Elijah.

Microsoft/Xbox allows players to "Buy once, Play Anywhere" on PC or Xbox. The game list is extensive but does not cover all.

Simply visit

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere

if you own the game (make sure to sign in first) you can play any of those games, on PC or Xbox.

Xbox Game Pass Owners have access to the Xbox App (PC) games that are installable to PC and Xbox.

Visit https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-for-pc for Xbox App (PC) for the official app for PC.
