The Xbox app on your PC uses two Microsoft accounts: a Microsoft Store account and an Xbox account (computer gaming account). A Microsoft Store account gives you access to game purchases, subscription benefits, and other purchases you make with the Xbox app through that account. With your Xbox account, you can access game streaming, make in-app purchases, view milestones, and connect with friends.

Recommendations

In most cases, it's recommended that your Microsoft Store account and Xbox account match. If a discrepancy is found, the Xbox app will notify you with a pop-up banner and a link to see what you can change. Set up your Xbox account as a Store account for optimal compatibility.

If you have a subscription but still see a message in the Xbox app asking you to purchase a subscription, make sure you're signed into the store with the account you subscribed to.

• Launch the Xbox app and sign in with the Microsoft account you use with Xbox.
• Select the player image and click "Settings".
• In the Account section, select Change my Microsoft Store account.
• Follow the on-screen instructions and sign in to the store with the Microsoft account you use on Xbox.

If you intend to play games or use subscriptions purchased by another user of this computer (such as a parent), you must add their account as a Microsoft Store account in the Xbox app settings. Otherwise, games already installed using this account won't run because they don't use https://difmark.com/en/buy-console-games/xbox-360onexbox-series-x/xbox-one-accounts accounts.
