Gears 4 play anywhere

As this is a play anywhere title, how can I play it on my Windows 10 PC?

My pc is updated with the latest version of Windows 10.

Gears of War: 4 -Play Anywhere question

Hi Gang,

So this might be a dumb question;

I am a massive Gears of War fan. After playing all the games on the
Xbox360 I am really keen to get into Gears of War: 4. BUT! I have since jumped off the Xbox bandwagon and saddled in to the
PS4 (I know how you must feel about me).

So my question to you guys is this;

If I was to purchase a digital copy of Gears of War: 4 could I redeem the code on my PC, using the
"Play Anwhere" function - which is applicable for this title - without ever having to connect to an
XBONE?

I don't want to spend the money on it and then realize that I have to have an
XBONE before I can download on the PC.

The PC part is no issue my computer will be able to run it perfectly - just unsure of how the "Play Anywhere"
function actually works.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

TL;DR: Idiot Playstation Judas wants to play GOW4 on PC without having an Xbox using Cross Compatibility - Can he do it?

Thanks guys.

Mike

the Play Anywhere system only applies to digital games. if you pre-ordered a physical disc, then you will not receive any sort of code or license to download it on PC. if you purchase a digital version, then your account will have the license for this
game on both PC and Xbox.

It is in the three games that I have from Xbox Play Anywhere, the Gears of War 4, the Forza Horizon 4 and the Cuphead

Hello Roland,

If this title is not a play anywhere title you will not be able to play it on the PC. That could be why you are getting the error to check the account. If you are unsure if a game is play anywhere it will say it in the description. example: Gears of war
4

Supports Xbox Play Anywhere: yours to play on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC at no additional cost.

Thanks,

Hello Rafiki,

They would need to be Play Anywhere titles. There are some out there that are but not many. Couple examples Gears of war 4, Forza horizon 4

Hello Khai,

As long as the games are Xbox titles and play anywhere titles then yes you can share them. If they are specifically Windows 10 games then you will not be able to share them. Example of a couple play anywhere titles are gears of war 4 forza horizon 4

Thanks,

Brad
