I once had an Xbox with Forza Horizon 3 and I got Forza Horizon 4 on my PC when I sold my Xbox (I don't know why) and then I noticed that Forza Horizon 3 is even better in many ways and now I wanted to know how I get that from Xbox to PC.
You bought it in the Xbox Store and as far as I know, the game supports PlayAnywhere, so all you have to do is go to the MS Store and search for the game and click Install or Download, or you can install the Xbox App and download the game from it down.
I bought it on DVD but I'll give it a try.
This way only works if you have a code in the box, as Microsoft needs a way to find out that you own the game. The CD is not enough on the PC because it is written in a format that the XBOX can't read but the PC.
I have now downloaded the Xbox app and signed in. How can I add the game to the game list using this code? (Don't be surprised, I'll go to bed now, I won't answer until tomorrow)
By going to your profile icon in the top right corner, then to settings and then there's an option Use code and below it a green button Redeem. Then click on it and enter the code in the window. Make sure that you have your correct email address above the line for the code, as the game will be permanently bound to it when you activate the code. Then you can find the game again with your profile icon and then games that I own. There you can select the game and then install it.
Ok, actually, just try the blad from the DVD just downstairs in the living room 👍
Do you know for sure if there was a code inside?
I don't have to look for sure, but at the moment I'm busy.
Then I'll keep my fingers crossed that you have one.
The envelope says "ONLY FOR XBOX ONE CONSOLE"
This is due to their activation system:
For the disc you need an Xbox One and you can't plug it into the PC. If a code is included, you can activate it and then play the game on both platforms. If there's no code included, then you are out of luck.
So here is not a huge "ACTIVATION CODE" but there are already a few numbers that I don't understand anything. But I think I was unlucky…
Usually this code is on a piece of paper that is supplied with the instructions or directly on the back or on the last page of the instructions or as an adhesive in the box. If he's not there, then you've been out of luck. I'm sorry.
Looks bad
