  • There is no license sharing
    • Content purchased on the Marketplace is not shared with other profiles using the same PC or console.
  • Marketplace purchases are not cross-platform.
    • Even if you own the game on both the Microsoft Store and Steam, you will only be able to access the additional content on the platform used to make the purchase, even if you use the same gamertag on both platforms.

If the DLC is missing from your hangar, double-check that the package is installed and up-to-date.
