I purchased The outer worlds in the Microsoft store in 2019.

I was able to install and play it at the time but I can no longer download it.

I have since changed PC so its no longer installed.

    To reinstall a game that you previously purchased from the Microsoft Store, follow these steps:

    1. Open the Microsoft Store: Launch the Microsoft Store app on your new PC.
    2. Sign in: Make sure you are signed in with the same Microsoft account that you used to purchase the game.
    3. Access My Library: Click on the "..." button in the top right corner of the Store app and select My Library. This will show you a list of all the apps and games you have previously purchased or downloaded.
    4. Find The Outer Worlds: Look for The Outer Worlds in your library. If you see it, you can select Get or Install to download it again.
    5. Install: Follow the prompts to install the game on your new PC.

    If you encounter any issues during the installation, make sure your PC is connected to the internet and that you have sufficient storage space available.
