PC and Xbox games should be shared across platforms

KevinAnand1 · Sep 1, 2021

As someone who owns an xbox and just got a gaming PC, I think it would be awesome if I didn't have to repurchase all of the xbox games I bought for my new PC. I don't even necessarily mind losing the save files on those games. The play anywhere feature is awesome, but it is quite limited so far. Some games I'd like to be able to play on PC without repurchasing include Red Dead Redemption 2, the Assassins Creed games, Hitman 3, Jedi: Fallen Order, etc.

This has been a bit of a barrier for me in transitioning to PC from Xbox, since I don't want to shell out a bunch of money on repurchasing games I already know.

Some new features regarding this would be great!

It isn't an issue xbox cab just say ok

Sony and ms tried

Xbox has an program like that playanywhere however it's limited to certain titles this js controlled by the publishers.

However for ea games you can get xbox gamepass ultimate which includes ea play which includes pc versions

Fyi xbox and pc aren't code compatible

You are asking the wrong people.you need to ask your publishers which is unlikely

Because they would be losing money

This is why subscription services have it

PC is an open platform, so the devs and publishers can sell where they want for how much they want, microsoft does not own the platform they just happen to provide an OS people currently use. Microsoft sells games on xbox which you get a licence for, they have limited agreements with a few titles so they can allow play anywhere but in the long term i don't think that will take off as most publishers have their own stores on pc.

besides microsoft are useless at providing working games most of the time, they either butcher them so they have stuff missing or force you to use their network.

If it wa purchased on your brothers account DLC does NOT TRANSFER between platforms

Destiny 2 add-ons cannot be shared or transferred between platforms, including between Destiny 2 on the Microsoft Store and Xbox consoles. For more information, please see our Cross Save FAQ.

Silver will be shared across Microsoft Accounts on any Microsoft platform: Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, the Microsoft Store, and the Xbox app for PC

Game share is only on consol

Keep in mind destiny has a new owner

This page has some details on that-:

"Your Credits are transferable and can be used in both games on the same platform for Steam and Xbox Live. PSN does not support transferable credits between both games."

So on Xbox credits can be used between Skyrim and Fallout, but NOT across platforms. On PlayStation, they are game specific, and also not shared across platform. So wherever you get the credits is the platform it stays on, and for
Xbox, it can be across both supported games.

Hope that answers what you're looking for!

The game files are different from Xbox to PC so you cannot transfer games across platforms.
