Unable to download Halo Wars Definitive Edition (PC) via Xbox Game Pass for PC.

Good Morning Galenrandir23,



Currently if you downloaded this game from Game Pass then it is listed as Halo Wars: Definitive Edition (PC). This game supports Xbox Play Anywhere that is the reason it is listed
as that on the achievement screen.

Here is how it listed in the store:

When I go to the link youve provided, it says i do not own the game. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/h...tion/bprpqskxtd1l#activetab=pivot:overviewtab

this is the one i purchased for xbox, but since its play anywhere i can use it on PC. Just curious as to why this one says PC in my list when games like super lucky tale and subnautica do not.

i never downloaded the game via game pass either so i dont think that would effect it?

thanks!

Hey there,

That screenshot indicates that you already own the game. Codes were only sent out during the pre-order period for Halo Wars 2: Ultimate Edition. Now, all digital purchases for Halo Wars 2: Ultimate Edition include the digital version of Halo Wars: Definitive
Edition. If the game is showing up in your library already, there is no need for a code.

Are you able to try downloading the game through the Halo app on the Windows Store? Within the Halo app, select the controller icon and see if it allows you to download the game through that menu.

Keep us posted!

Yes that screenshot indicates that I own the XBox One version, but not the PC version. As you see, there are two versions of Halo Wars 2. One for PC and one for XBox.

I bought the Ultimate Edition and I should have everything on PC and XBox, but I did not receive a Halo Wars Definitive Edition for PC. It's not in my store library. I do not own an XBox One.

The Halo App is only offering me to buy Halo Wars 1.

If browse the Windows Store to Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition it says that I own this product. It lists Halo Wars Definitive Edition as belonging to this package. If I click that, it offers me to buy Halo Wars Definitive Edition.

Clearly, that can't be right and something went wrong with the activation. Can you fix this?

Best,

I have a similar issue, whereas I CAN download the game, but get the error when I try to run it:

Hi Cool,

Thanks for coming to the forums. There are some known issues with certain titles not being able to download/install. We recommend to just wait it out and see if you can at a later time. This is in beta so there are going to be some bugs and such.

Thanks,

Brad
