so i bought the game from the micosoft store and it says '' you own this product '' and the button says '' play on pc'' but when i click it a white popup window appears and nothing happening.
how to download on pc
@cowboymancer I had the very same concern. It is not at all apparent which version you are buying. I looked at the url in the browser and it read "gamesforwindows" so I took a chance and purchased it. Even the receipt sent by email did not indicate if it was PC or Xbox. Super annoying.
Anyway, open the Store app after you purchase it and you can download it from there. Launching the game is via the app as well. Hope this helps!I have been at this for two hours. Trying to download to PC. Everything routes me back to the store, which says play on PC, when clicked it opens a blank Windows store page. Is there a separate Windows store app that needs to be downloaded because I am logged in and cannot successfully follow the instructions listed above. Any additional succinct guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have not even got that far wish I could help, but I can't even see the windows version, the version I see has Xbox everywhere.
It doesn't matter whether you buy the digital copy of the PC or Xbox One version. The Digital Copy is "Play Anywhere", thus you can play and download it on Windows 10 PC and/or Xbox One. "Play Anywhere" is the copy for all devices.
Sometimes it just takes a while for it to work since the Windows 10 Microsoft store app still is a bit buggy at times.You might have to restart Windows or run Windows update/Store Update it in case the OS/Store app needs to be updated for the game to work.

@l-xenosz-l
Just to clarify: you are trying to start the game on PC?
If so, are you logged in at the XBox Live App before you start the game? Maybe this can be an issue if the game doesn't manage to login on its own.@l-xenosz-l Open your Xbox app at first and create your Xbox gamertag if you haven't done it previously
@sirliborius Hey, thanks for reply, yes i puchased from Microsoft Store, and this Xbox Liva app in store or where can i found it?
@l-xenosz-l It should have been pre-installed on your Windows 10 as basic part of it. If you don't have it though, then try searching the Store. It's called just Xbox
@winsterz sagte in how to download on pc:
The main problem that people have with this, is that they think there is some pc version of the game. The isn't. There's just an xbox version of the game and Windows 10 allows to act your PC as Xbox. That's why everything must be managed through the Xbox app
I would call the games PC Version, but they use the login-system over a sepearate XBox-App, which can be confusing. It would work better if the account from the App Store was used automatically, i think.
For me it's a good system, so i can join partychat with my freidns who only use the XBox. But it's not the most intuitive systems to use.@sirliborius I would not call it PC version as both PC and Xbox are downloading the same app from the same store. That's what they envisioned with their UWP apps.
@sirliborius On the intuitivness I agree. We had so much problems with the Xbox app alone during the betas. I at least hope that this game will generate enough feedback for MS to start doing something with that.
@winsterz
I didn't look at SoT on PC yet, but on other Play Anywhere titles i would define it as different Apps as there are clear differences in the options (graphics, controls etc.).
In several cases (like SoT beta) the installaton sizes are quite different depending on the system.
But i guess this is really a question of how to define a different version and a different program...@winsterz Hey, again me, so i dont know what is the problem but i have again and again Ashbeard the xbox live problem,
I think they are wrong because the people who helped to test the betas are not even the game they gave them and now it is only for payment and that one I help and all the others equal I think that they would have to give the game to the people that was in the betas and helping with the bugs because thanks to all of you they repaired
