Xbox play anywhere Not transferring to PC.

kk5dire07 · Jun 26, 2021

Hiya, I recently bought a game that I am very much into and as it is an Xbox play anywhere game (per here) ¹ It should work on both PC and Xbox, but It only shows up on the Xbox Store. I am relatively new to using services like Xbox Play Anywhere (etc.) So I'm not sure if this is intended or an issue. If the former I'd be distraught from the advertising I have seen for the aforementioned service.

Thing I believe are noteworthy:

I am using an Xbox One X (Up to date) and Windows 10 Home Edition (Up to date with relatively good hardware)

I am a current Xbox Game Pass Ultimate member.

I have bought the game via the Xbox Store (Game not on game pass)

The game is on the Xbox Play Anywhere list (¹)

-Cheers

:)

Just to note, your saves will only transfer between the PC and the console if the title is a "Play Anywhere" game.

If it is not a "Play Anywhere" game, then your progress will not transfer.

Sorry but Rocket League is not a play anywhere title. As such there is no way to transfer content from the Xbox to the PC.

Minecraft PE doesn't transfer over to other consoles. The play anywhere versions for Xbox or PC can be played on either at anytime.

The game I was having issues with was "Subnautica" Which seems to have worked on install before.

Yes youll be able to play it on your Xbox.

The game is a "Play Anywhere" title, that means it doesn't matter if you buy it on Xbox or on PC (through the Microsoft store) you'll be able to play it on either PC or Xbox, and your save will transfer from system to system.

Heres some more info regarding the Play Anywhere system
