I play Diablo II Resurrected on PC and decided I wanted to waste even more time by purchasing a second copy that I could install and run on an old as shit XBOX I inherited.

Well, I didn't realize it was incompatible as I don't console game (haven't since PS1 / N64). I do have the Microsoft account and all that jazz, but I haven't ever really used the thing. I logged in and tried to install it and found out how stupid I was for not checking all the reqs first.

Question: is there any way possible to get D2R installed on an older XBOX (the game is meant for X or S series?) or can I somehow get it installed on a windows PC? I don't really care about performance since it was to be a mule account and what not, but now it's just a waste of money entirely.

thanks in advance!

EDIT: I have one copy on the PC installed with it's own key. I bought a second copy (digital redeem code/key) to use the game from XBOX - so two separate accounts, keys, etc..

Well, I think I figured out that I have to login to the XBOX app and then 'install' to a console from there, then it seems to connect it. Thats all I can think of since the Microsoft / XBOX account shows the D2R purchase with active subscription, the bnet account I created and connected to XBOX (and is different from my existing PC install bnet account) also shows an active sub to D2R. The reason I think this is the problem is that the copy I am using is technically a copy from my PC, copied entirely over and associated with the second bnet account. It opens, works fine, but then I get one of two errors: the first told me I hadn't been online in over 30 days, and that has ceased since I opened/logged into the XBOX Online account and connected to bnet. Now I just get the "could not authenticate" error. There is nothing that specifically shows me that the PC install vs XBOX/console installs are coded differently or are somehow linked in this way, but I am at a loss otherwise.

So now I am left to find a cheap usable XBOX simply for a $40 game, borrow one to install and see if this then fixes the issue and 'activates' my copy, or beg Amazon for a refund on clearly marked non-refundable purchase.

Don't discount old consoles. I don't know which version you have, but there are some real banger titles on Xbox. Red Dead Redemption stands out as one of the best
