Activation with Microsoft Store

Microsoft uses its own platform for their PC games. As with Steam and the Ubisoft Launcher, you need to download a client (Xbox) and create a Microsoft account. Titles that require the Microsoft Store DRM will be displayed on the product/order page next to "Delivery".

Download the Xbox for PC App

• Download the Xbox for PC App.
• Install Xbox for PC App and log into your existing account or create a new Microsoft account.

Activating a Microsoft game with Xbox for PC

• After a successful purchase, go directly to the game in your library on Gamesplanet.
• Confirm your purchase as usual so that you can access the game.

• Once you have your key, open the Xbox for PC App.
• Login to the App using your Microsoft details (or make an account if you have yet to do so) - can also be the same account you use for Windows/other Microsoft products (aka Skype).

• Click your username in the top left corner and head to settings.
• From here find the Green "Redeem a code" button and hit Redeem.
• Enter your code and follow the next steps.

• Click your username in the top left again and select "My Library"
• Locate your game and click on it to begin installing.

Note: You may need to restart your Xbox for PC app for the game to appear/update your library.

Activate a product using the Microsoft Website

• Prefer to activate your game on the website instead? No problem, visit the Microsoft Website, enter your code and "Redeem".
• You can then download the game using the Xbox for PC app.
