You can already easily do that with any Windows 8 or windows RT device.

This feature seems like it would be awsome for any turn based stratagy game. I would love it if xcom: Enemy Unknown or civilization 5, if they made the multiplayer actually turned based..., had that feature, even if graphics got extremely downgraded on a tablet or phone. For real time games though, I don't think it would work well, at least for competitive multiplayer games. People on xboxes and pcs would have too big of an advantage.

This is the greatest thing ever. The only issue is that in order to play this way you have to buy 3 copies of the game. WP, Win8/Surface and Xbox.

Microsoft needs to do something about that. At least offer 1/2 off other platform purchases if its the same Microsoft account buying them.


Unless, the cloud service allows you to download it anywhere you log in... Kinda like steam when you switch computers

As an onwer of Windows 8, Windows Phone and Xbox, I can confirm that it hasn't worked like this so far with same titles released for these platforms, but maybe this will be the first. It's the first Xbox live title to allow for cross platform play. There have been a few indie titles that did it already...

That takes away most of the appeal for me... :(
