For some reason, I can't download fh3 on my pc. I have looked in the library of both my Xbox app as well as the Microsoft store app, and while it does not exist on the Microsoft store, I simply cannot download it on the Xbox app. I own it via disc on one of my Xboxes, however I own it digitally on a different one, both linked to the same account.

    If you own Forza Horizon 3 digitally on one Xbox and are trying to access it on your PC, there are a few things to consider:

    1. Ownership and Licensing: For games on Windows, the ownership is tied to the Microsoft account used to purchase or download the game. If you have it digitally on one Xbox, ensure that you are logged into the same Microsoft account on your PC.
    2. Game Availability: Forza Horizon 3 may not be available for download on the Microsoft Store or Xbox app due to its licensing or availability status. It's important to check if the game is still supported for PC play, as some titles may have limited availability.
    3. Installation Limits: If you have reached the limit of devices where the game can be installed, you may need to manage your devices through your Microsoft account to free up a slot.
    4. Xbox App Issues: Ensure that your Xbox app is up to date. Sometimes, issues with the app can prevent games from appearing in your library. You can update the app through the Microsoft Store.

    If you continue to experience issues, consider checking the Xbox support page for troubleshooting steps related to game installations and library access.

    Hello Peyton Richart,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Forza Horizon 3 has been delisted in 2020 and no longer in the Microsoft Store list. However, users that owned it should still be able to install and play through the Xbox app Library. May I know have you checked the previous answer about how to find the game in the library? May I know if you are able to find it there? If you can find it but having issue installing, please let me know.

    Additionally, can you please go to account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and check if you can find the order history there?

    I'm waiting for your reply.
