Open the exact game listing on Xbox.com, in the Xbox Store, or in the Microsoft Store and look for the Xbox Play Anywhere badge. Xbox also directs players to xboxplayanywhere.com for participating games. Check the edition and format you plan to buy: Play Anywhere applies to digital games, not physical discs.
Where to check for the Xbox Play Anywhere badge
- Find the game’s current listing on Xbox.com, in the Xbox Store, or in the Microsoft Store.
- Look for the Xbox Play Anywhere badge on that listing. Xbox says participating games are marked on these storefronts; its FAQ is available at Xbox Play Anywhere FAQ.
- Check the edition you intend to purchase, not just the franchise or another edition. Eligibility should be confirmed on the exact listing, since a badge on a different listing does not establish that your chosen edition qualifies.
- If you are comparing options, consult the participating-games list, then verify the exact listing again before checkout.
Store wording and terminology can vary by region. Xbox’s English FAQ identifies the badge on Xbox.com, the Xbox Store, and the Windows Store; use the current listing available in your region to confirm eligibility.
Make sure the purchase is digital
Xbox states that Play Anywhere applies only to digital games. A physical disc does not qualify for the feature. Eligible digital purchases can be made through Xbox Store or Windows Store, and Xbox says participating retailers may sell digital codes.
For a retailer code, check that the individual code is for the edition you want and that the corresponding live official store listing carries the Play Anywhere badge. Xbox’s general statement about retailer codes does not confirm the entitlement, edition, or current availability of any particular seller’s listing.
