I just bought a season of an anime from the Microsoft store, but it looks like the only way to download or view it is with an Xbox or on a recent version of Windows. Does anyone know how to get it directly?

Downloading from other sources is an option I already know; I’m just wondering if there’s a way to get it from my paid version.

    Honestly, even as a Windows 11 user, the Films & TV app is the only way I’ve ever found. You could try youtube-dl but it’s unlikely to be able to bypass their DRM even if you can find a direct download link. I’d just go ahead and download it from another source, you already paid for it, you have the right to watch it IMHO.
