Find answers to frequently asked questions for Killer Instinct on Xbox One and Windows 10 platforms.
If you don't have background downloads on or haven't launched Killer Instinct in a while, the download will prompt you the next time you launch the title.
Players who have previously purchased Killer Instinct from the Microsoft Store will need to uninstall the game and reinstall it. If you're having trouble finding the game, do a search for "Killer Instinct" in the Microsoft Store and select the version of the Anniversary Edition for PC (the Xbox console version is also visible via the Microsoft Store on PC). This should solve most access issues.
If you previously purchased Killer Instinct on Steam and were automatically updated to the Anniversary Edition, you may see that the Anniversary Edition is not listed as "owned" on the Killer Instinct Store Page. If this is the case, log out of your Steam account for a minute and re-login. This should resolve the issue. You do NOT need to buy the Anniversary Edition if you have previously purchased KI on Steam - even if it's showing up as purchasable for you, you should have it available in your DLC.
If you're having a hard time accessing the Anniversary Edition, try right-clicking on the game in your Library, then click Properties > DLC.
