Yay, no W10 requirement like the UWP version
pretty much, "360 controllers will work, but X1 controllers won't"

Yeah that's bizarre, the heck is up with is? Because of added Windows 7 support?

Surprised at no free version
XOne sticks are not Xinput? That doesn't make any sense.

Damn it. I have the stupid Microsoft Store version. I would rather have on Steam! 
If you want Windows 7 support, this is what happens.

It is on the Windows 10 Store but not on Steam, apparently. They're giving you everything in a $40 package.
[edit]
The new one they've been supporting for the past few years.

Well they say "currently supported". I hope this gets patched sooner than later.

Just add a launcher inside of Steam? If you already have it on Windows Store w/ DLC then there is no point in this version unless you want to switch back to Win 10

A port of the 2013 X1 game.
If you're on Windows 10, you can just download the Win10 store version to do that.

Biggest surprise of this gen for me, just an all around amazing fighter.
Get it for the soundtrack alone

Cool that w10 store loses an exclusive, but I don't see a XB1 launch game selling well at $40 in 2017. Good luck, they'll need all they can get.

Fuck. I have 5 arcade sticks and they're all d-input.
Razer Panthera, madcatz TES+, Hori RAP4 kuro model, Qanba q1 and Hori Switch. I'll buy it and see if I can get any working. If not i'll refund.
It's a GaaS game, it's been and still gets updated so it's never really "old"
It'll do fine. This game is nowhere near the game that launched 4 years ago. Graphic upgrades, character roster has more than doubled, new modes.
It'll sell better than MvCI has been.

I think this is a mistake. D-input controllers don't work on W10 version last I checked(or X1 obv), but should have no problem on Steam. You could use Steam Input to translate it even if the game doesn't support.
Oh yeah I know about that, thanks. Just not a fan of UWP.
Definitely glad the game is Win32 now.

Would you rather have a 40 dollar priced full game or a fremium game with microtransactions?
Look- If you don't like lootbox based games, then please support the games that continue to release the full package up front. I am going to buy this game, and mention in every review or chance I get that I support developers who give me the entire game up front instead of chopping it into pieces with microtransactions.
40 dollars is not to much for what the are asking. It might not be worth it to you, but please don't drive-by post and say you'd only try it if it was free 2 play.
We all know that F2P games aren't really free. I like F2P, but I also like boxed games. Particularly, For Killer Instinct, it was the right move to make.

How much space does it take up?
Halo Wars 2 is rumored, I asked about Phantom Dust but there were not any current plans at the moment.
Others? No idea but I can see MS becoming more open with this.

The W10 version takes up around 51 GB.

Hey Microsoft! Can I exchange my Windows Store/Xbox licenses for Steam? Pleeeeeeaaassee?
I'm pretty sure you can use a program like JoyToKey to play with your sticks.

Not sure about that price but I'll definitely put it on the wishlist. Now put up Halo Wars 2, Gears 4 and Forza with full cross-platform play between W10 and steam and you're onto something.
my panthera works just fine with the xinput drivers on the steam version, but not on the Win10 version, so if you download those it should work. cant say for the others though
