It also does not show up on my XBox to download. I have never seen a more confusing interface than the XBox 1. I hate it! That could be the problem. Oh well. I would have bought the XBox DVD, which probably would just contain a code to download the game. I am going to right it off as a lesson learned. Thanks! -pw
