I bought a game key for X Box when I meant to get one for Steam. I cant get a refund. What are my options?
#Can I play a console game on my PC?

Some games are Play Anywhere, which means they are playable on console or PC. Check the store page to see if it is or not.
If it's not, then there's nothing you can do.

is there an extra charge to do that?

you would need gamepass core if you wanted to play online but Remote play is free

okay.

also to avoid confusion has some people mix them up. Remote play is steaming the game from your xbox console to your PC or Mobile device remotely,
Its not the same has cloud gaming has some people mix them up

okay so Fallout 76 isnt a play anywhere title so i think you need to check what you brought because you first said it was the console version then sid it says windows10/11 it will be one or the other, The code will clearly say what version it is xbox or Windows
