    Is outer wilds (xbox game) a play anywhere game?


    On the microsoft store(Link) outer wilds is not labeled as a play anywhere game, but in the description it says its on PC and Xbox, so does that mean if I buy outer wilds will I be able to play the game on both my PC and my Xbox?

    :)

    Launch the Microsoft Store app, then search for the outer Wilds. When the page loads, select install (if you own it). It should then start to install. The download is currently spouting an error code, but that could be an issue on Microsoft's end, or it could be a mistake that the game is on the PC store, hence why the error code shows up.

    No. If it’s not play anywhere they are separate purchases. Both ar available on game pass

    Hi,

    I see that you have various answers to your question, so I’ll try to clarify in more detail.

    No, unfortunately Outer Wilds is not an Xbox Play Anywhere title. So you would need to purchase both the Xbox and PC version because of this, and all your in-game profile save data/progress would be completely separate and non-transferable in this situation. The game is also currently not available on Game Pass, it was added last January for Xbox consoles only and left in June.

    I believe this is where the confusion may be - a game with a similar name [The Outer Worlds] is available on Game Pass, but isn’t an Xbox Play Anywhere title either.

    You can verify this here:

    https://www.xbox.com/games/xbox-play-anywhere

    https://www.trueachievements.com/xbox-play-anywhere/games

    Refer to the Xbox Game Pass Library, which is regularly updated:

    https://www.xbox.com/xbox-game-pass/games

    https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/xbox-game-pass-games - this guide also includes any games expected to leave Game Pass soon, and upcoming releases.

    If you’re interested, there’s the Steam version as an alternative for PC if you prefer. This supports Steam Cloud and remote play.

    If you have any further questions regarding the game specifically, you can always contact Annapurna Interactive (the developer) directly for advice. You can also reach out to them on Twitter @A_i or message the Xbox Support team @XboxSupport - they should be able to confirm anything and point you in the right direction.

    Hope this helps, happy new year!

    I have had a look on the store link for the game, and it states it is available on PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, which means it is a play anywhere title. Plus the outer wilds is not on game pass for PC, or on game pass for console, and yet I can still install the PC version on my computer at no extra cost to me.

    No Stuart it's not a play anywhere title

    It's a gamepass title with both pc and xbox copies which still doesn't make it a playanywhere title just downloadable on two platforms only om gamepass

    https://www.xbox.com/en-ca/games/xbox-play-anywhere?cat=all

    @op many titles are published on xbox and pc that's the way they are labeled as shown above the O section of the play anywhere it isn't there

    However if you get gamepass you get both available including cloud

    If you purchase it you only get one copy

    But with gamepass ultimate you can use cloud and use it on any device
