    Playing a game bought on Microsoft - Being forced to sign in?


    I bought a game on the Microsoft store to play on my PC, but when I open it, it is forcing to make an Xbox Live account to play. Why and how do I bypass that?

    :)

    a game doesnt show that i bought it

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to find a game purchased from Microsoft Store. I'll certainly assist you with the issue.



    However, we would like to know the place of purchase of the game.



    As you have mentioned that you have purchased the game logged in to your Microsoft account, I would suggest you to make sure that you are signed in with the same Microsoft account in Microsoft Store.



    To login to Microsoft Store, refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Open Microsoft Store.
    2. Click on the Profile icon on the top left corner, click on the account and select
      Sign Out.
    3. Now, click on the Profile icon and select
      Sign in.
    4. Sign in with the Microsoft Account through which you purchased the game.


    Let us know the results, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,
