    Hi K.O,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum and thank you for reaching out.

    That message you're seeing appears because the store page has been removed globally. Forza Horizon 3 was officially retired from the Microsoft Store in 2020 due to licensing agreements expiring. This means it’s no longer available for purchase or visible in the store for new users. However, if you previously bought the game digitally, your ownership is still valid, and you should be able to download and play it through your account.

    Please verify your ownership by signing in with the same Microsoft account you used to purchase the game and check your purchase history at Microsoft Account.

    Then you can check for Install Drive Settings

    • Go to Settings > System > Storage and confirm your SSD is selected for new apps.

    After you finish the checking, please proceed to the steps below:

    1 - Clear Xbox App Cache

    • Sign out of the Xbox app and Microsoft Store.
    • Delete temporary files in Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxApp_*

    2 - Fresh Install

    • Remove broken Forza Horizon 3 entries via PowerShell by this command Get-AppxPackage *OpusPG* | Remove-AppxPackage -allusers
    • Restart and reinstall through the Xbox app.

    I look forward to receiving your update. Let me know if you need further assistance, feel free to ask me by clicking "Add Comment" or "Add Answer" if you cannot add comment so your response will be visible. Thanks for your effort.

    It sounds like you're experiencing issues with downloading Forza Horizon 3 due to it not appearing in your Microsoft Store library and facing problems with the Xbox app. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. Check Microsoft Store Registration: Ensure that the Microsoft Store is properly registered for your user account. You can do this by running the following command in PowerShell: 
         Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.WindowsStore*
      If it indicates that Microsoft Store isn't installed, you may need to re-register it.
    2. Re-register Microsoft Store: If necessary, you can re-register the Microsoft Store using the following command in an elevated PowerShell prompt: 
         Add-AppxPackage -RegisterByFamilyName -MainPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe
    3. Update Gaming Services and Xbox App: Make sure both Gaming Services and the Xbox App are up to date. You can force an update for Gaming Services by using PowerShell: 
         get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
   start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
      Then install it from the Microsoft Store.
    4. Check Sandbox Settings: If you are in a development environment, ensure that you are in the correct sandbox (RETAIL) and that your game is published correctly in Partner Center.
    5. Try Restarting Your PC: Sometimes, simply restarting your PC can resolve issues with app downloads.
    6. Check Availability Settings: If you can't find the game in the Microsoft Store, check the availability settings in Partner Center to ensure it is set to be discoverable.

    If after trying these steps you still cannot download the game, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for further assistance.
