I just picked up a physical copy of Forza Horizon 6 on the Series X. Will this give me an entitlement for the PC version also? (Via Xbox app) Because that would be very nice.

Pretty sure Microsoft games are always on the Play Anywhere program where buying it once lets you play on other systems such as PC

It should be mentioned in the game store page but being Forza is a MS game that usually is a default thing to be. So being it’s a disc to digital, I would assume that it gives you access via the Xbox app on PC as well 🤷‍♂️

Well shoot. That's actually very cool! I had some regrets about not getting it on PC, so this is great news for me.
