I have to admit that I haven't played very much on my Xbox One within the last year... since most Microsoft published games now are also available on PC, where I can play them with much better performance and graphics.

I still don't regret buying and keeping my Xbox One. As long as the 360 BC ain't extended to Windows-PCs and gems like Sunset Overdrive, Halo MCC, Halo 5, Forza Horizon 2 and Forza Motorsport 5 + 6 don't get ported to Windows, it will have its place. I also use it daily for Amazon Prime Video, Netflix or Blu-ray movies (it's better suited for that than my PS4 Pro: quieter, boots a bit faster and cooperates much better with my Logitech Harmony).

But yesterday it really saved me some trouble in Forza Horizon 3: an unskippable cutscene repeatedly got stuck and I couldn't progress. Instead of tinkering around, I just started the XBO-version, auto-synced the save-game and avoided that problem.

Play Anywhere / Cross-Play is awesome and I hope that some day most multiplatform games sync save-games even between different networks (Xbox Live, PSN, Nintendo Online, Steam Cloud...)

So you playing Forza Horizon 3 on PC.... and the windows version has a bug or issue,
and to fix, you played the game on your Xbox One?

I use Cloud saves across 360 and Xbone all the time. Pretty nifty stuff dude, bro...

Nice! Own a console instead of a patch for the windows 10 store version of a game? Good selling strategy for the X1 right there.

A really great feature. I have three XBO consoles and I buy almost everything digitally. It's pretty cool knowing that I can just turn on my console in any room and my games and data are just "there".

Yeah, I wish that Sony would make it as commonplace as MS does.

So, Horizon 3 needs to be restarted on your PC, but you say NO, I'm going to boot up a console I rarely ever use and play Horizon 3 there instead.

Then go online a create a thread about how your Xbox really helped you out.

It's an amazing feature and an underrated one as well.

I have 2 XBox Ones. One upstairs and one down, plus a shared PC library and I love all the compatibility and save options between my libraries.

Forza Horizon 3 for PC: $60
XBox One: $299

The feeling when you tell a bug to go F*ck itself: Priceless

A PC reboot wouldn't have helped. It's a nasty bug of the PC version: https://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst71037_Stuck-at-Barn-find.aspx
