Is it possible to get a digital key for Forza Horizon 3 if I have the physical copy of the game for Xbox?

Hi,

Recently I've been wanting to play Forza Horizon 3 but It has been delisted off the microsoft store. Other ways of getting it such as keys are not possible as they are extremely expensive. What I wanted to know is that if I have a physical copy of Forza Horizon 3 (Which is a Xbox Play Anywhere title), would it be possible to get a copy or key for the game on PC?

Thanks

    No. A physical Xbox 360 or Xbox One disc copy does not entitle to a separate digital key or PC license.

    For Xbox Play Anywhere titles, the digital license that works across Xbox and Windows is tied to a qualifying digital purchase of the game from a Store or via a digital code, not to ownership of a physical disc. The usage rules state that Xbox Play Anywhere games can be purchased in a Store or via a digital code at participating retailers, and then installed on compatible Windows devices and Xbox consoles, but they do not provide any mechanism to convert a disc into a PC entitlement or to issue a free PC key based on disc ownership.

    Since Forza Horizon 3 has been delisted from Microsoft Store and keys are no longer normally sold, there is no supported way to obtain a new PC digital license from Microsoft using only the physical Xbox copy.
