"RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard confirmed for @Xbox Play Anywhere – buy once, play on both Xbox One & @Windows 10 PC."

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

PC via Microsoft store?

 

[pizzacat]

Like steam pc or win10?

 

[SinCityAssassin]

But it's on Steam, why would you go for W10.

 

[NippleViking]

May actually buy this now.

 

[shanafan]

PC via Microsoft store?

Yes. That's how it is tied to your Xbox Live account.

Steam version too? If not, useless.

 

[Mifec]

PC via Microsoft store?

Yes, they don't offer play anywhere through any other service.

 

[Megatron]

PC via Microsoft store?

Yes. No steam.

 

[Ibuki]

Obviously not for the Steam version, come on guys.

 

[Hip Hop]

Steam version too? If not, useless.

I really doubt it.

 

[Mohasus]

But it's on Steam, why would you go for W10.

Kinda obvious this doesn't apply to the steam version.

 

[liquidtmd]

That's...Awesome!

 

[Greatest Ever]

Actually incredible, Windows Store be damned. Wish it worked this way for physical copies.

 

[Theorry]

Damn, Nice. Going Digital on Xbox then.

 

[koutoru]

But it's on Steam, why would you go for W10.

.

 

[notaskwid]

Does the w10 version even support VR?

 

[Admodieus]

Pretty interesting precedent as it's the first third-party AAA game to do this, I believe? Makes you wonder what other third party games will do this going forward.

 

[digitalrelic]

But it's on Steam, why would you go for W10.

So you can play it on your Xbox as well? That's kind of the point. To bring more benefits to the Windows Store version.

 

[shanafan]

Steam version too? If not, useless.

How is it useless then?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Steam version too? If not, useless.

W10 Store version only I'm sure. UWP and all.

 

[theonerayman]

I wonder which version you have to buy to get the play anywhere..

 

[Vuze]

Didn't we know this for the longest time?

I wonder which version you have to buy to get the play anywhere..

The one that is available via Microsofts store front obviously.

 

[Nephtes]

YAS!!
More 3rd party games need to do this...
Shared Achievements between Xbox and PC!

I wish SFV did this so I didn't need one set of Trophies on PS4 and a separate set of Steam Achievements on PC...

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Nice, already preordered digitally last month on Xbox One.

 

[Bsigg12]

I hope they keep bringing more games to Play Anywhere. I'm exclusively digital on the Xbox One so more games getting that support would be awesome.

I wonder which version you have to buy to get the play anywhere..

Windows 10 store or Xbox One digitally.

 

[RyudBoy]

Whoa, more third-party titles need to do this.

Hope it performs well on PC.

 

[GTSweet]

Wow. First big non-first party or indie title to get the Play Anywhere treatment?

Other Confirmed Play Anywhere games:

• Gears of War 4
• Forza Horizon 3
• Recore
• Everspace
• Astroneer
• Sea of Thieves
• Halo Wars 2
• Killer Instinct
• Crackdown 3
• Cuphead
• We Happy Few
• Ark
• State of Decay 2

 

[FelipeMGM]

Does the w10 version even support VR?

No, VR mode is exclusive to PSVR for 12 months

 

[FinKL]

Hmm, wonder if the upcoming PCVR will work on the UWP version. I'm guessing probably not? Looking for future proof my purchase

 

[RoKKeR]

So, this seems like somewhat of a big deal, no? Enticing third parties into participating in Play Anywhere certainly feeds into the larger strategy MS is clearly gunning at, which is to turn Xbox into a "platform" that isn't tied to hardware.

Very interesting, wonder if we will see other third parties follow suit this year.

 

[Amagon]

Cool!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

First major third party non-MS published game to utilize this...pretty cool

 

[Jonnax]

The Win10 store is essentially the Xbox Platform on Windows and Scorpio will join it.

Whilst the Win10 experience isn't great that's what they want you to use because with steam Valve get 30%

 

[Calibos]

Amazing! Bought it for my Xbox, but can secretly play it at work now too!

Great get MS. Now I just hope they continue to work on the Win Store issues and features.

 

[Vuze]

Whoa, more third-party titles need to do this.

Hope it performs well on PC.

That's actually a good point. I don't think we have had a date-to-date launch of a Win10 and Steam version so far. Will be interesting to see if there are any performance differences.

 

[johnnydrama]

But it's on Steam, why would you go for W10.

So you have it on both Xbox One and PC...

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

But it's on Steam, why would you go for W10.

If you have an Xbox One and want to play it on both? That's kinda the whole point of Xbox Play Anywhere lol

 

[RedAssedApe]

Does the w10 version even support VR?

Psvr timed exclusive iirc no? Ask again in like a year?

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Good value for people with both PC and Xbox but anyone serious about playing on PC will just get the Steam version.

 

[flkraven]

Wow, didn't expect any big third party games to do this.

 

[Admodieus]

Wow. First big non-first party or indie title to get the Play Anywhere treatment?

Yeah, I think the next big step would be for a third-party multiplayer title to get the Play Anywhere treatment. I'm personally holding out hope that the PvE parts of Destiny 2 work like this.

 

[Tecnniqe]

That's a nice start for the Play Anywhere initiative

 

[Bsigg12]

Good value for people with both PC and Xbox but anyone serious about playing on PC will just get the Steam version.

Well, yea. Having this even be offered for digital purchases for the Xbox One is the biggest thing here for me.

 

[ryushe]

I was gonna pick this up on the PS4 so I could play it using the PSVR, but having both the Xbox and PC versions makes the decision a little more difficult..

 

[hanspampel]

Steam version too? If not, useless.

What is this? This is like asking for a free copy of BF1 on origin if you buy the xbox one version. Or a free copy of overwatch for battle.net when you buy the xbox one version


Something ridiculous like that would never ever happen.

Wow. First big non-first party or indie title to get the Play Anywhere treatment?

Yes

 

[moltonasty]

2 copies of a game for the price of 1. But 1 of them is on the W10 store.....

 

[The Boat]

Awesome, well played!

 

[Duxxy3]

Well fuck... that's surprising.

 

[Flunkie]

Forza Horizon 3's W10 performance and their ineptitude to fix the issues completely destroyed any confidence I had in Xbox Play Anywhere.

Hopefully it runs better.
