Purchased Minecraft on Xbox One X, trying to download to Windows 10 laptop via Windows Store

AndyElledge · Jun 24, 2020

I purchased the full version of Minecraft on Xbox One X about 2 months ago. My daughter would like to play it on the laptop as well. The game shows as "owned" in the Windows Marketplace and I have a button to click to install Minecraft on my devices.
However, the only devices that show are the Xbox One and One X, no PC/Windows 10 option exists. It seems I should be able to put this on my laptop, am I totally off base here?

Thanks in advance.

it is not possible to do that, you must buy the version for windows 10

the game is not part of the PlayAnywhere library.

Yep, Mojang is one of the rare Microsoft studios that doesn't support Xbox Play Anywhere. Same thing for the new Minecraft Dungeons game, unfortunately :/

As mentioned, you will need to purchase a copy of the game for Windows 10 as the game is not part of the PlayAnywhere library.

Hello Andy,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We understand you are trying to access a download. Unfortunately, you need to purchase the Minecraft windows 10 edition. As there is a separate version for each platform.

Thanks,

Brad
