    If I own a PC game and have an XBox Subscription, can I play the same game?


    If I own a PC game and have an active XBox subscription, how can I play the same game?

    Gives me a message like can't play the game as someone already is attempting to play the game (even if there is different profile used).

    Both profiles are linked to the same account.

    Ideally would love to play the game (Age of Empires 2) with my son him on the Xbox and me on the PC

    :)

    If I buy and own Halo Mcc on Xbox. And my Microsoft and steam accounts are linked. Do I have to buy Halo Mcc Again on pc?

    Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

    Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

    I understand you have a question about MCC.

    Actually, this game is sold separately for PC users and it is not part of play anywhere games in which you would have to buy it on PC as well even if you owned it on Xbox.

    Only play anywhere games can be playable on both devices if you own the license on either of the devices.

    You can check more information here about play anywhere games:

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

    But you can play the game on PC without buying it if you have game pass subscription though.

    XBOX Gamepass for PC -- Multiple users

    I understand that. If we each have own own individual Gamepass subscriptions, can they play the games I have downloaded? I don't want to have 3 copies of the same game on my hard drive.

    Can I play Coop with my brother with Game Pass Ultimate on PC?

    Hi there HXH360, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

    Yes, with Game Pass Ultimate, you can play cooperative games with your brother on PC. Each of you can use your own account on separate PCs to play together, but your brother must also have the same game purchased or through his own Game Pass subscription. As long as the game supports online multiplayer or cooperative play, you should be able to play it together.

    I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

    Kind regards,
    Gerardo.
