Q: QuestionIf I get the pc version will I have to buy a monthly Xbox pass to use the game?

Asked 4 years ago by Tdog.

• A:Answer Best Buy is sending a link to X-Box when you buy the PC version. Make sure you use the code on the Microsoft Store and not the X-Box Store. I had to force a return and replacement from Best Buy to get a new code to use on the Microsoft Store due to this is a One time use code. If you enter it on the X-Box site you will not get the game.hope to save everybody the 3hrs. On phone with Best Buy to resolve.

Q: QuestionIf I buy the PC version now and activate it with Microsoft account, will I be able to download it to my XBox X later when released using the same Microsoft account?

Asked 4 years ago by Kevink.

• A:Answer Yes, if you have the Windows version, you will also have the Xbox version. This means that if you associate this version with your Microsoft account, you will be able to play it on Xbox Series X/S as well. The sim shares the same multiplayer world, content, and services. However, if you purchase through Steam, you will not have access to the Xbox version.
