Installing Xbox one game onto laptop.

ParkerRobinson1 · Aug 19, 2021

I have ark survival evolved installed on my Xbox one. I am planning on buying a gaming laptop and am wanting to install my already purchased Xbox one version of the game onto the laptop I will be buying. I know this is possible with the system called Xbox play anywhere but I wanted to test if it would work first and attempted to install the game onto my mom’s laptop. When I did all the steps and got to the point where I was supposed to click install game so I could install it on the laptop, when I clicked on it, it only gave the option to install the game on xboxone. So I am wondering if it could be just because my mom’s laptop probably isn’t built for this or what. The laptop I am looking to buy is a MSI GF63 Thin i5 GTX 1650 MaxQ 8GB/256GB Gaming Laptop, 15.6" FHD Display, Intel Core i5-10300H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 MaxQ, 8GB DDR4, 256GB NVMe SSD, Windows 10 - GF63222.

How are you, mate?

You need to log the account that owns the game into the Microsoft Store app on your PC/Laptop

Open the Microsoft Store app on your Windows 10, log in with the account that owns the game in the upper right corner, look for the game in the store and install.

I used a laptop/chromebook and it's not showing anything up for where I can install my games onto the hard drive but won't it just re-format the hard drive back onto the xbox?

Because when I plugged it in, it showed up as a new device

No, I'm trying to download from my laptop onto my laptop. And I just cleared my cache and try to install again. No dice.

Thanks again.

Somewhat reluctant to change the router settings, I decided to dig out my old laptop, installed the Xbox app and tetris app onto it. It worked. Good news as it shows it must be a config issue on the PC itself - the laptop was tested on the same network.

Any other suggestions on modifying settings on the PC itself to get the game working?

A lot of games run better installed for me. If I install my games my xbox doesn't sound like a bowing 747.

This is the main reason I install games to my HDD. I can't stand how loud the 360 is if the game isn't installed onto my hard drive. I don't even really care about the load times. I always have my laptop next to me while I am gaming, so when it is time to
load something up I just turn to my laptop and surf the web or post on here while I am waiting.
