Didnt catch much of a PA focus in the briefing, have I updates to add?

Forza 7, Super Lucky's Tale, and Ori Will of the Wisps I think was only new ones from what I see. Lots of other Windows 10 games announced, but not Play Anywhere

Other non-PA gamers:
Metro: Exodus
Deep Rock Galactic
The Darwin Project
The Last Night
The Artful Escape
Tacoma
Ashen
Ori Will of the Wisps

I can confirm that Tachyon Project was updated to include Xbox Play Anywhere support. Bought the Xbox version on sale for $2, and it also showed up in the Windows 10 Store.
The strange thing is that the Windows 10 version allows you to signs into Xbox Live, but achievements do not unlock at all. There is also no cross-save support. It seems like its only XPA support is with cross-buy.

That US link shows up as $2 and says Play Anywhere but when I check the UK store it shows up as £7 and doesn't indicate it's a Play Anywhere title.

Maybe the store isn't fully updated?...

I tweeted the developers of Tachyon Project about the XPA issues and they responded that the game is not actually supposed to be available yet on the Windows Store due to the compatibility issues.

Thanks. It's now showing up in the UK store for £1.60 and as a Play Anywhere title.

Tacoma confirmed for Xbox Play Anywhere support coming soon.

Thumper coming to Xbox and Windows 10 on August 18th. The Windows 10 version of Thumper has all progress, achievements, and leaderboard synced across both versions. No confirmed cross-buy.

Great now if they can fix Tacoma on Xbox One that would be great.

I'll finally pick up Thumper.

You would hope on MS's platforms is but once and play anywhere, on the others I'm sure it will be cross play and cross buy of DLC only.

Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure, Disneyland Adventures, and Zoo Tycoon: Ultimate Animal Collection are all confirmed for Xbox Play Anywhere support.

Killing Floor 2 is showing up on the Xbox site as a XPA title, but there are no other sources of a Windows 10 version.

Final Fantasy XV is also coming to the Windows 10 Store, but is not confirmed for XPA.

Ark Survival Evolved will be released on the Windows 10 Store Mid-September with Xbox Play Anywhere Support.
Originally our plan was to go out with Play Anywhere on our launch day but unfortunately that has now been pushed back until mid-September. However I do have some exciting news to share: with the use of Xbox and Windows 10 PC Crossplay (UWP) you can host your own server without needing an extra copy of the game or a second console to do it! (Though it is important to note that you will still be able to host a Player Dedicated server this way.) If you own ARK on Xbox, you get the Windows 10 PC version as well as the Xbox One X version for free and you can play with all your Xbox friends from your PC or either console.

Play Anywhere is cool as long as it's an option.
99% of the time I want to buy the PC version, not pay 50% extra for the Xbox version. I think Microsoft has only been able to force that with their games (so far), but it still sucks.

edit
Noticed Cdkeys has these things now. So that helps a bit.

Yeah, CDKeys is being a big help.

I think they are selling the vanilla Play Anywhere version of RE7 for like $67 while the Steam version can be had for mid $20.

$67??? Where did they come up with that number? a dartboard?
