MS XBox Store to Steam

Featured Replies

I have the MS XBox Store version of MSFS 2024 and lots of 3rd party content (airports) installed via the MSFS Marketplace.  Are those purchases transferrable to the Steam version or would I have to purchase them all over again?

Can both the XBox Store and Steam versions be installed and used interchangeably until I decide for certain which one to stay with?

Why bother , they are identical.

Ah, but I wish that were true.

The MS Xbox Store constantly becomes corrupted, a “feature” that has transcended a fresh reinstall of Windows 11.  Combined with the fact that the MS Store encryption prevents backup/restore of the XboxGames folder, and the Store version really pushes up against my level of patience.

Steam on the other hand is rock solid.

However, I didn’t come here to debate Xbox vs Steam, I’m just interested to know if purchases made inside the MSFS Marketplace will transfer, or are locked to how the base MSFS product was purchased.
