    Why aren't my play anywhere games showing up to play on my pc?


    I am trying to play Forza Horizon 5 on my pc, I thought it would work fine because its a play anywhere game. I logged in to my xbox account on my computer and it does not come up to install. My pc is up to date and so is my xbox. I've heard play anywhere games are invalid if you get them through game pass, (which I did.) Is this true? Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Hi, Will6290! I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

    Kindly double check your transaction thru https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders to make sure that you're on the right account where it was purchased.

    Once confirmed, open the Microsoft Store, then click on the profile picture in the top right corner. A pop-up box will appear allowing you to sign out then once signed out, kindly sign in again using the account that has the game and then try installing your game from there.

    Oh, I see. I am afraid game pass for console does not work on PC. The game is indeed play-anywhere but since your subscription is only for console, it will only work on console. If you'll get game pass Ultimate, you'll be able to play FH5 both on Xbox and PC since the subscription includes game pass for Xbox & PC, Xbox Live, and EA play.

    Hi, Will6290! FH5 is included in game pass so if you still have an active subscription, you should still be able to install it from the MS store or Xbox app. Just make sure to sign in to the same account where your game pass is on Xbox app and MS store. You can check https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/forza-ho.... You'll see the devices where the game is playable on.
