    Buying a hard copy but playing on pc


    So I guess my question is pretty straightforward, if I bought a hard copy (let's say the Walmart collectors edition) but I don't own an Xbox. Is there some way I can play it on my pc? Or should I just get the digital pre-order for the pc.

    :)

    No you would need a pc copy .

    .playanywhere is only for digital copies.. Why jn heaven's name would you think otherwise..

    There are security layers and the runtimes are different

    With digital playanywhere you get the Pc copy

    Hi! My name is Pam. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    Good question. Physical copy of games are designed for Xbox consoles only so if you are trying to play on your PC, make sure to get the digital copy of the game.

    No that's ancient and never worked very well you do remember how that worked right ?

    It wasnt crossplatform

    Yes I did that proccess with steam and after what happened with xbox one it will never happen agsin

    Where you install the game and register it to your account permanently

    So you never needed the disk yes xbox one had that option till 300k xbox fans voted against jt

    I can tell you there is a fatal flaw

    If you didn't play for awhile steam deletes your account Along with your dlc you couldn't recover it if you lost the disk or.documentation and yes I went thru that with the Source from steam

    What you are suggesting would invite theft

    2 that never worked access platforns

    IT would've required you to.still br with steam

    Since.xbox and steam are completely different platforms.it doesn't work

    Playanywhere is Only xbox and.xbox for windows and only digital.files as mentioned gamers /fans voted with their.dollars against it causing the sony current lead
