    Will Microsoft shift your XBOX games to Windows if the title is available for PC?


    So I had an Xbox and an Xbox 1 for many years and bought many games for it. I no longer have an Xbox but would love to be able to play Anthem on PC. I purchased Anthem for Xbox when it came out.

    Will Microsoft allow you to essentially "switch" the platform you bought the games for from Xbox to PC?

    I bought a ton of games for Xbox and would love to be able to access them and play them with my PC.

    Thank You

    :)

    The only game you can also play on PC would be play anywhere games that can already be played on either with the one purchase. There is no swapping an Xbox version for a PC version if it isn't play anywhere.

    Olá EEWHOPP Microsoft tem um programa chamado Xbox Play Anywhere onde os jogos que você compra também poderarjogar
    no PC, infelizmente Anthem não está na lista, Segue o link da lista de jogos que estão no programa.

    it actually depend on the game.

    1. the games that actually allow you to do this are ''Xbox play anywhere'' games.

    these game you only need to buy once on ether Xbox one or in the windows store app

    you can install these game by searching for them directly or by going in the

    option(...)>downloads and updates>ready to install. the game that you own and can install will be listed there

    these game will play seamlessly between platforms (campaign progression, online progression, cross platform interaction)

    2. there are game that as cross save fonction and/or cross play (for example Call Of Duty Modern Warfare)have the capacity to share your progression and play with other players on a different platform but in this case you need to buy this game on each platform
    you want to play it on

    3. and there a game that as no transfer whatsoever and if you buy on another platform you will have to start all over.

    game does not appear anywhere

    Hi,

    What game did you buy?

    Most games on the Windows Store are Xbox One games. Microsoft only sells a small selection of PC titles. Most PC games are only available on Steam, Epic Store and Origin.
