need help downloading scorched earth and staying logged in on one specific page

i'm on pc and i've downloaded ark and it says on the microsoft store that scorched earth is free, when i click on it though, there is no download button. i went through the xbox console companion and that led me straight to a tab on google. i clicked sign in several times before it actually signed me in and then i had to switch from the help page to the game page and then i searched for scorched earth. when i clicked on it, it led me to the xbox.com website and was opened to scorched earth, but it didn't sign me in and i couldn't download it without paying $30 for ark (which i already had). i clicked sign in and it led me straight to the microsoft help page with a 50/50 chance i was actually signed in. i've repeated this process and a bunch of others multiple times for multiple days. microsoft, please fix your horrible websites, processes, and everything else. i've seen lemonade stands run by 3 or more toddlers function better than you.

i was not concerned if it was free or not (even though it said on the microsoft store and xbox store that it was indeed free) i was just trying to download it by itself as i am not too too interested in the other dlc's.

thank you for the quick response. i was able to find it on the xbox app and stay signed in but it still says i don't have ark installed when i do.

It could have been free in the past, but it is not anymore, my friend. I'm sorry about this.

literally just search "why can't i download scorched earth microsoft" and you will find a bunch of posts on different social medias and people with the exact same problem that i had. some of them included screenshots indicating it was free.

Do you have a screenshot of the Microsoft/Xbox store stating it was free? It is not sold separately, but I never saw it being free.

And yes, unfortunately some DLCs are not sold separately, only with a game version/bundle or season pass.
