Disclaimer: If this looks similar to the Xbox One Download thread...that's because it is by design! Steverulez allowed me to use some of his images, as well as helped make the awesome header. Thanks Steve!

 

[Steverulez]

Nice thread! Let the gamerscore whoring begin!

You're welcome on the header, stretched my photoshop skills, hah

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Haha, it's only fitting that Steve gets first post!

So, the first Windows 10 Xbox LIVE enabled game was released today, Microsoft Solitaire Collection by, you guessed it, Microsoft (actually one of their in-house devs called "Microsoft Casual Games").

It has 40 achievements for 1000GS, falling in line with Microsoft's message of "a game is a game, is a game". So, it seems no more of those wimpy 200GS lists!
Here is the list for those curious: http://www.xboxachievements.com/game/microsoft-solitaire-collection-w10/achievements/

Worth noting some interesting things since I've been trying it out:

1. Since the achievements are cloud based these days, if you have your Xbox One on when you pop a Windows 10 achievement, it will also pop up on Xbox One and show up in your notification center
2. Windows 10 Xbox titles come complete with Game Hubs, Store Pages, and Achievement viewing on console, even if the game is not released there
3. Same as on Xbox One games, achievement art is in full swing!
4. Titles look like they will have 1000GS each from here on forward. No word yet on challenges, but I don't see why not.
5. The banner on the game tile has changed to show if a game is Xbox Live enabled or not, so you will see a centered "Xbox Live" green banner on top of Xbox enabled games in the store
6. Windows 8 games for the most part are compatible with Windows 10, so if you have an Xbox Live enabled Win8 game you are all set to also play it on Win10 (unless of course it gets delisted at some point)

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I'm waiting for the official release and I will be joining you all soon!

I hope Solitaire sets the standard and all games on windows 10 will have 1000 achievement points. Not that I care about points.
Looking forward to downloading the update come July 29.

 

[dancrane212]

Hadn't been keeping up with the store in the preview program but it looks like I can now download my couple Win 8 games where I couldn't when I tried a couple months ago. Wavy Tube Man Chronicles gets to live on!

 

[speedomodel]

Will be milking the free/easy achievements fo sho

They should be. It follows Microsofts line of thinking that games are games, so I think we will see a base of 1000GS for all windows 10 xbox live titles (including mobile) from here on out

I know it's silly. But this makes me so happy.

 

[etta]

Nice thread, subscribed.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

So one thing to note about Solitaire...

It's "free" but a 30secobd ad pops up every few games, just like Windows 8. It costs $1.50 a month to disable them (and you get more month coins), or $10/year.

I'd ALMOST entertain doing $10 for lifetime since I know I'll get good use out of this apps over windows10 lifespan, but per year is a bit rediculous IMO.

The ads aren't THAT bad though so I'll live.

 

[Bsigg12]

So I've seen Major Nelson and Phil Spencer playing the Minecraft: Win 10 edition beta, is it not available to those running Windows 10 yet?

Also, you can pin it to the Xbox One dashboard for some reason.

Ya you can pin all of the Windows 10 titles to dash when available, can always visit their game hub and view the store page even though they can't be bought there.

As for Minecraft Win10 Beta, it's publically out on July 29, but maybe it will drop earlier like Solitaire

Weird. I wonder if since those are pinnable, if eventually they'll be supported by the Xbox One itself? Just a random thought.

 

[The Flash]

Dat Solitaire collection though

Thanks for making a Windows 10 discussion thread, Banjo.

 

[Doffen]

I'm ready for Xbox on Windows 10. Now they just need to release Surface Pro 4.

 

[Bizzquik]

So...is this where we'll talk about CrossBuy products...?
We've heard so little of the feature since Head of Xbox Phil Spencer spoke at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in early March.

For what its worth, here is a link to Phil's July 21st tweet where he mentioned that Mouse & Keyboard support will (eventually) make its way to Xbox One.

Now that I have a good PC - and being a long-time Xbox fan - I'm hoping W10 is finally the time Microsoft creates a unified ecosystem.

In the near term, I'm hoping the Windows Store gets an injection of cool stuff to celebrate the official release of Windows 10, on Wednesday! (July 29th)

Yep, this be the place.

I agree though, it will be interesting to see the Universal app system play out, as well as cross-buy, cross-play and the like. As for cross-buy/play I would wage Fable Legends or Gigantic will be the first titles to do that in Win10/Xb1. They should be out this fall.

As for general cross-buy, I know for a fact that Pinball FX2 is cross-buy and I would imagine that will be out close to launch.

As for this week, I think the only LIVE enabled games Announced are Minecraft Windows 10 edition beta, and Microsoft Minesweeper. Hoping there's some other games releasing though.

May take a month or two to pick up, but I expect thing to be in full swing come September/October

 

[Bsigg12]

Kinda strange but they removed my pin of Minecraft Windows 10 edition beta from my Xbox One for some reason.

Maybe part of the LIVE issues today? Not sure

I do like how you can view the game hubs for Windows 10 titles on Xbox though. I love seeing the achievement art on my TV and can set the background with them if I want. Really cool

 

[Bsigg12]

Minecraft Windows 10 Beta is up if you go here https://account.mojang.com/me and have your Minecraft.net account linked.

Only x64 processors supported?

edit: I have a 32-bit OS, x64-based Processor but it wont let me install it.

Thanks for posting this. Do I have to wait to upgrade to windows 10 to redeem the code?

I have no idea since it's technically based on the Pocket Edition. It's very possible it requires a 64bit OS though.

Thanks for posting this. Do I have to wait to upgrade to windows 10 to redeem the code?

I believe you can at any point but I'm not sure. It'll throw you to a website to redeem a code which gets you it for free.

 

[Delryk]

Can't import win8 data from the cloud in Solitaire right now.. nooooo.. lol can't play because of that..

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I'll update the OP tomorrow ... Happy windows 10 launch day all. Hopefully things will start to pick up game wise soon!

 

[TheSeks]

Huh. The store won't let me get Minesweeper. It keeps saying to "try again" because something failed. I'm guessing they're getting hammered this early in the day?

The Minesweeper version on the store is the old Windows 8 version, I do not believe that the Windows 10 version is available yet

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Where is my Update, Microsoft!

 

[zorbsie]

Where is my Update, Microsoft!

I'm still waiting to get the notification too. At least it gives me time to make sure everything is backed up.

It will not clean my hdd, right? I have backups, but not sure uf everything is in there.

 

[zorbsie]

Updated my surface. It does not wipe the hdd. Which is fine for the surface, but I kind of wanted to start fresh on my desktop.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Holy crap, that was the smoothest upgrade I've ever done. I went from 7 to 10 and everything I checked runs fine. It was less than 20 minutes. Steam, games, office, and even the minecraft server was online at boot. I quickly tested a few games and they seem fine. Logged into the Xbox app and that went ok. Steaming from the Xbox One works well. Not great mind you but it is playable. I have the xbox connecting over wifi so that is probably a limiting factor. Good news for people who hate the Xbox One controller. It accepts input from an Xbox 360 controller and a logitech controller!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Will update the OP when I get home later with Minecraft.

So, I had a talk with someone at Xbox who said the games are coming, with a big smile. So, might seem slow now, but I expect it to pick up this fall

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I tried streaming a few games just to see how different games work. Most of the games work ok. Keep in mind I'm still wireless, I need to run another cable over to where the Xbox One is. Forza Horizons worked good, as did Goat Simulator, Lego Batman 3 as did Ryse. Wasn't pretty but if I looked past the compression, some enjoyable game playing could be had. Pinball FX was unplayable.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Announced at Gamescom (will update as I see more):

Age of Empires: Castle Siege is the third official game for Windows 10 Xbox LIVE games. It was updated today (no need to update the app) where if you launch the app you will see that the achievement total is now 1000GS, and you will auto-pop any achievements you previously gained

Just tested and it still lists 200g achievements. I even got an achievement in my playtime, and the game still only lists 200g.

Hmm not sure, it worked for me. Maybe it's a slow roll out

 

[Chiaroscuro]

It seems that Microsoft Bingo and Spartan Strike had updated to Win10, but achievements are still 200g each :-(

Where are the Win10 games?

Yep it's really odd. Although the Bingo update supposedly fixed some glitches achievements.

Microsoft Hearts and Microsoft Minesweeper are supposed to be coming soon.

All the ID@Xbox games still haven't shown up either. I would have at least thought Pinball would be ready by now.

Hoping we have more releases soon so this thread can pick up :/

 

[Vert boil]

Bingo (Win 10) is out now.
It seems to update the Win 8 version and progress is carried over. New achievement list and they will auto pop if you've already met the requirements.

Win 10 list - Win 8 list

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Pinball Fx2 also had an update on Xbox one recently that added achievements for Windows 10. So it looks like the XB1 version and Win10 version will share lists

So I expect that to release semi-soon

Hopefully that means the purchases we've made on the XB1 carries over to the W10 version of the game.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

99% chance they will. Remember, they delayed the XB1 version in order to ensure 360 tables transferred over

 

[darkinstinct]

I doubt they will since they already have a free to play model in the PC version.

 

[Vert boil]

Pinball FX2 Windows 10 Edition is up now.

It's a separate download from the Win 8 version, 1 gig.
If you're searching on the store, search for zen pinball instead of pinball or pinball fx2.

We are working closely with Microsoft as they implement the technology necessary to enable this. While this feature is not yet available, we look forward to offering this at a later time and we’ll be sure to share additional information as it becomes available.

[Chiaroscuro]

Microsoft Bingo got an update and now the achievements are working. However the ones I got before the update are showing in game but not on my achievements.
