Microsoft Store Game Keys and DLC for Windows PC

Microsoft Store keys for PC games, with Xbox support on selected titles

This category collects Microsoft Store game keys and DLC that you activate on a Microsoft account and play on Windows PC. Part of the catalog also runs on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, so the platform info on the product page tells you exactly what a given key covers.

You will find full games, expansions and add-on packs here, from big releases to smaller titles. Everything is delivered as a code you redeem yourself, with no waiting and no extra software beyond the Microsoft Store app or the Xbox app.

Which Microsoft Store option fits you

The choice comes down to what you already own and where you play. A full game key gets you started, an add-on key extends a game you play now, and titles marked Xbox Play Anywhere cover the PC and console version in one purchase.

  • Pick a full game key when you do not own the title yet, because an add-on will not install without the base game.
  • Pick a DLC key when you want an expansion, season pass or extra pack on the account that already owns the game.
  • Pick a Play Anywhere title when you move between a computer and a console and want the same saves, achievements and add-ons in both places.
  • Read the listed platforms first when console play matters to you, since not every key includes an Xbox version.

How to redeem a Microsoft Store key

Each key is 25 characters long and goes onto a Microsoft account. Sign in with the account you actually play on, because the content stays there for good once the key is used.

  • On Windows, open the Microsoft Store app, select your profile icon, then Redeem code or gift cards.
  • On a console, press the Xbox button, open the Store and select Redeem in the side menu.
  • Enter the key exactly as it appears and confirm the purchase.
  • Install the title from your library, or track it under My games and apps on Xbox.

What to check before you buy

One look at the product page answers most questions, because the rules are set per product rather than for the whole category.

  • Region: some keys work only in selected countries, and any restriction is marked on the product page.
  • Platform: the page states whether the key covers Windows PC only or Xbox consoles as well.
  • Edition: standard, deluxe and bundle versions come with different content.
  • Account: use the account you play on, since a key cannot be moved to another one afterwards.
