This game does not support PC platform cross-play. MS store and Steam are treated seperately.
FS wrote they want to introduce cross-play “sometime after launch”.
From their FAQ:
Will crossplay and cross-save be available?
We see the value in cross-play and cross-save and fully intend to support cross-play shortly after launch. Cross-save is more complex to execute and still being investigated.

This is intended, at this time.
