Why can’t I download games I own on Xbox to PC?

Kenzie �� · Dec 1, 2022

when I view Red Dead Redemption 2 in Microsoft store, which I own on my Xbox one s, I tried downloading the game because I already own it on Xbox, but when I try to download it on Microsoft Store it always says “this product can’t be installed on this PC” I have been struggling for at least TWO days, do I have to wait until it’s available on the Store or is it just not available?

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Just a friendly reminder though that we can play Xbox games both on Xbox and PC if the game is an Xbox Play Anywhere game.

For you to check if the game is an Xbox Play Anywhere game you can check this link: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anyw...

Red dead redemption 2 isnt a play anywhere title so if you want to play it on PC you'd have to buy it for PC. Having the Xbox copy wouldn't give you a PC copy.

I had an issue just the other day of not being able to download something from the console, so I went on my PC to the Microsoft store and clicked on it there, which did a force install on my console. Hope this works for you.
