How do I find My games & apps on Xbox and this PC?
On an Xbox console, your games are in My games & apps: open Full library > All owned games to see everything you own, installed or not. On a Windows PC, Microsoft games on this computer are in the Xbox app under My Library (or the Microsoft Store Library), and every purchase is listed in your order history at account.microsoft.com. Make sure you are signed in with the same Microsoft account you used to buy them.
On a Windows PC
- Open the Xbox app and select My Library (or open the Microsoft Store and go to Library).
- Look for games with a download or install button: these are owned but not installed.
- Click Install to download the game.
- If a game is missing, check that you are signed in to the same Microsoft account in both the Xbox app and the Microsoft Store.
Games already installed on this computer
To see which games are installed on your PC, use the installed filter in the Xbox app's My Library, or open Settings > Apps > Installed apps in Windows and search for the game. Games from other launchers, such as Steam or the Epic Games Store, appear in those launchers' own libraries.
On Xbox
- Press the Xbox button and open My games & apps.
- Select See all, then Full library.
- Choose All owned games to see everything you bought, including games not installed.
- Game Pass titles appear in a separate Game Pass section and are available only while your subscription is active.
On the web
Sign in at account.microsoft.com, open Payment & billing > Order history and you will see every game and add-on bought with the account, including the date and device.
If games are missing
- You may be signed in to a different account (for example, a work or second personal account).
- The game might have been bought on another platform, such as Steam, and is linked to that account instead.
- Game Pass games disappear from your library when the subscription ends.
- Hidden games can be unhidden in your library filters.
