Who Can Get the Games

You need to buy an eligible Windows 11 PC from a participating US retailer between November 2 and December 31, 2026. Microsoft’s offer page limits it to the US. The games are all digital, and Microsoft values the bundle at over $500. Microsoft also warns that some eligible PCs can’t run all 25 games.

How to Claim

Sign in to the Microsoft Store app on your new PC with the Microsoft account you want to keep the games on. The bundle appears under Library > Included with device by November 30, and you must claim it by February 12, 2027. Once claimed, the games stay linked to your account.

What About Everyone Else?

Players outside the US, and anyone not buying a new PC, don’t get the bundle. Microsoft has also given Xbox players free profile badges, gamerpics and themes for the anniversary.
