I will be getting on Project Scorpio.

I wonder how close it will be to the pc version.

Not close.



PC/Xbox scorpio versions will be the best versions going forward.



Closer than any other version, that's for sure....

The value for digital games on Xbox is unmatched right now, sure window 10 store isn't a favourite for pc gamersbut this feature isn't designed for pc gamers.

Your saves, achievements and progression are all stored in the cloud and switching between consoles and pc's is amazing, you can just buy a nice laptop and continue on that while other people use the TV, damn man, I hope every game gets this.

The scorpio will 100% be the best version because if it uses UWP then the textures and stuff from windows are used onthe scorpio, this has been confirmed by multiple sources, so it will be the full pc version running. This is going to make a huge difference!!!

All third party games should be a play anywhere title.



Proud to be a Californian.

Yeah, i'm in the market for 1060 laptop before my birthday. Between the 4K desktop in the office, Scorpio on the couch...and having that Xbox library on the go with a nice laptop (as well as Steam!)...its just a great ecosystem to have that level of accessibility to your software and i'm glad Play Anywhere is growing with high profile 3rd parties.

The game is also releasing on PS4 and optimized for PS4 Pro.

That's the version I'll be getting.  

 

Does this play anywhere work with Steam on pc?  Because if not it's a deal breaker for most pc gamers.. 

I don't see why it shoudl be. I haven't looked into playanywhere at all, but isn't it where if you have a gold live account, you buy a game you can play it on xbox and pc?

So say I have a powerful PC and want some xbox exclusive games. Instead of purchasing a $300 One S, I pay $50 a year for Live.

Seems like not so bad a deal. Basically buying a One S for $50. Meanwhile getting to use your preferred control style, gaming set-up, ect. Not sure how much live will waterdown the pc online experience.

Or do you not even need a gold account and can just use a free live account? Which yes, using otehr programs than steam are annoying, ORIGIN i'm looking at you. It's still better than purchasing an entire console.

99.5% close. 



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

You simply download the Xbox App on a Windows 10 PC, tying it to your XBL account. Its a desktop version of the XBO ONe UI, to some degree. You can track your profile, friends, message, Achievements/ Gamerscore, Game DVR/Clips,  the same....

Whether you are a Gold user or not, it doesn't hamper your ability to play the game. MP is currently free using Windows 10.
