As far as i`m concerned there must be xbox or surface connected to your account.
I have nothing connected and I claimed it

.
So these MS games (or rewards) took me longer than most humans to figure out: When I see these free MS games mentioned the first thing I try is opening the MS pc app and search for it. (Quite often the deal will be for all countries which is why I try this first.) Nope. Took me to my local store (AU) it was ten dollars and something. Then I'll try the Xbox pc app (no I dont have an xbox but installed this app for MS rewards) .. nope also took me to the local store ($10.xx AUD). So then I just clicked the link in here (duh lol) .. took me to the Israel MS version, warned me I was shopping on a diff site (maaaaan they reeeeeeally wanted my ten bux lol). Ignore it, stay on the IL site. It lets you claim it and *then* asks you where you wanna install. (Like the site gets all confused lol). Just close it. You got it.
You can see in this screen shot, it's quite faint, but on the left in the background above the pic of the game, it says "You own this game".
So, you're both right. You can claim it, but to
play it you need to link a physical xbox 360 (or newer) to your account. But now that I look at the ss again it also says "LIVE" which you can play if you pay for xbox live/ultimate. (If you play a shitload of ms-reward-qualifying-titles tho, you can earn free Ultimate - but this would be a post of its own coz my thread is getting a little wordy now.) (And just for shits-and-gigles, yes we own a 360 console but we never use it online so MS can't connect the dots. Everyone can claim this game. Not everyone can play this once claimed. Collectors
