I'm not able to find this answer in old posts. Can we install games from the Microsoft store? I just claimed a free copy of Fallout 76 on PC from Prime Gaming and the MS store is telling me I need the XBOX app which sounds really weird to me.

I'm not sure why they did this but Prime Gaming is offering codes for Fallout 76 on PC and XBOX. I have no idea why they aren't offering it free via Prime Gaming but my guess is since MS owns Bethesda, they let Prime offer the code to drive traffic to their own store.
