Which one is going to be your platform of choice? I have Gamepass Ultimate so I can plan it on pc or on my console. However… the modding experience with Microsoft store games have been sub par. Given that this is a Bethesda open world game I can’t wait for the mods. So I may just double dip and buy the Steam version in orser to enjoy the modding experience. What are you guys doing?

My choice would be Steam, but I’ve got to do Windows Store because of the deals I was getting on Xbox gift cards.
I’m not buying it until I know for certain the game’s good. Although I’m thinking it’s probably fine.

Pc steam, i prefer spending 70 euros for the premium edition over having to deal with the shit that is xbox app and gamepass pc every day of the week.
I don't care about mods (except for the gore that is apparently not present), pc is where the game is gonna run at its best and that's enough.

OP, do you want the comfy couch experience? Just play it unmodded and as Todd intends on console day one, and pick up the Steam version when it goes on sale down the road. if Skyrim is any indication it's not going anywhere lol.

Steam. Premium Edition already bought and pre-downloaded.
Wanted it for PC for 60 fps at 1440p but don't trust the Microsoft Store or Xbox app to not mess up a 120 GB install based on previous experiences with their games. Steam also has options to verify and move games much easier than the Store, which more often breaks in my experience, throwing up those annoying cryptic error codes, e.g. 0x800210ef. The Microsoft Store and Xbox app on PC, are at best, average and at worse utterly atrocious when it breaks yet another game with a patch and requires you to redownload the entire game. There is a good reason why PC gamers loathe the Microsoft Store and Xbox app, even Digital Foundry have made jokes about it.
P.S. Will also be downloading it for my Xbox Series X at launch as well on GamePass so I can share the save game and play it on a 55" OLED TV with surround sound and HDR. PC will be where I spend the majority of time playing the game though as I am not sure, just for the higher framerate which I feel is more important for a game I will be playing mostly in first-person.

Steam obviously. Already have it preloaded
Fuck the MS store. I'd rather buy an Xbox and play it there than have to deal with that shitty ass store.

XCloud is on Series X hardware, I already have the console, cloud won't benefit me much. Unless you meant Geforce Now, I've already got the game and premium add-on primed for Xbox.

Steam is platform of choice. Also purchased CE for Xbox to support Bethesda and to collect.
