why does my steam game not show in my xbox library on pc.

Hello, Shadow20476. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I would like to let you know that the Xbox PC app doesn't recognize Steam games because they're from a different marketplace.
The Xbox PC app only recognizes games downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

In addition to that, the specific “repair” option is available for Microsoft Store apps and games. Steam use a different way. This is called “verifying integrity of game files”.

You can perform this action by following these steps:

“Restart your computer and launch Steam

Next, you can either right-click the game in your Library, or click the gear icon from the game's Library page on the far right

From the drop-down menu, select Properties…
Select the Installed Files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files button.

Steam will verify the game's files — this process may take several minutes”.

I hope you find this answer helpful to your inquiry. However, I'll remain attentive to any other one you may have.

Kind regards,

Arturo.

You're welcome, Shadow.

Do you own the game on disc or digital? If it's disc, then that will be why the game does not show in your library on PC, as you need to own the digital version for that to show up in your PC library.

Hi Ricardo,

Very confusing setup,

Forced MS account to install the game.

Xbox store on my PC shows no installed games in Library.

Online account shows Forza Horizon 5 in my Consent permissions but no install information no information on what I have given permission for.

Steam shows game in Library.

I will put this down to having to have a FORCED MS account in order to install a XBox game on the PC.

Thanks for the information you have provided.
