Playing Disc Games Using Play Anywhere

Hi all, awhile ago before I realized what Play Anywhere was I purchased a Disk Copy of Ark: Survival Evolved, along with the game's Season Pass Digitally.

I have an Xbox One S which often struggles with some of the more graphically intensive parts of ARK, so I was hoping to play on my PC so I could get a bit of a smoother experience. At the moment though I'm in a bit of a weird predicament where I can download
the season pass, but can't utilize it because the Microsoft Store doesn't recognize me as owning the base game. Is there any way to get around this issue without purchasing a new digital copy of the game?

Thanks for any help you all can offer!

I also have a XBOX ONE S and Assassyn's Creed Odyssey in disc mode and I don't mind having to play it in that specific device and disc. The game have a amasing visual, but sometimes textures problems that seem caused by something about online interference/issue
and also some kind of cheatings by the game just to say that I'm 'Dissinchronized'. Probably the sistem wanna play machine against machine and mind me wrong to don't be one, but I'm just human and to teach a machine to defeat humans seems something about a
cheating video poker mind builder. Anyway, I've wrote comments to Microsoft and they seem to dislike me about this, but in constructive ways about that game I've suggested them to improve with their Ubisoft partners the game playful ways about also having
automatic horse ride (Phobos) to secundary places, been them previous discovered or not, but if they're appear at game map with (?) or (!) simbols. Same about when at sea (Adrestia). I mind this kind of amplitude ride options byautomatic pilot will give a
better playful balance between the platform and the game amazing visual care the Ubisoft team had and will provide us simple consumers a better visual sight even for game photos. And also, it's a constructive, positive way to try to improve a product then
kick the consumers balls using us as cobays to test sistems issues.

Unfortunately no. The only way would be to purchase the game digitally.

Hello @MilesEvans1! I hope that you are doing well!

Unfortunately play anywhere titles are only for digital copies. Play Anywhere only works if you own the game digitally. It doesn't work with discs because PCs use their own types of disc and consoles use other types of discs.

Hi DaleNunes,

Unfortunately Xbox Play Anywhere titles only applies to digital copies and not disc copies. I don't believe it's possible to link your Xbox account if you have the game on disc. If the game is an Xbox One disc copy, it will not work on the PC.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Xbox Play Anywhere is only applicable or digital purchases, not disc-based games.
