    Play anywhere question


    I share my live with my son on our xbox one. But my son prefers playing on his gaming pc.

    If I was to buy the digital version of FH3 would my son be able to download the pc version to use without me having to be logged in to his pc

    :)

    Play Anywhere question?

    So, I have Xbox Live Gold and the Game Pass and have been playing this gem. My wife would like to play it, and I know that xbox has the play anywhere thing. If I buy the game digitally on xbox, and install it on our pc, will she be able to play on her account
    (on the pc)? She doesn't have Gold, because she shares my Gold on the Home console.

    Play Anywhere Question

    Ok, I know this is going to sound dumb but I just want confirmation on this. First I want to say I'm not a fan of digital copies, I prefer physical which is why I'm asking this question.

    With regards to the Play Anywhere program, if I purchase the game digtially, either through Xbox or the Windows store, in this case, Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition, do I get everything on both? The Season pass; the copy of Halo Wars Definitive Edition. Does
    that only apply on PC or on both?

    No. Game sharing doesn't work with PC games. Your son would need to be signed into his PC with YOUR Microsoft Account to install the game from the Windows Store.

    Play Anywhere question?

    Hi there,

    to play online on the PC you don't require Gold so that should be fine.

    Also since you own Gamepass you can already install it on the PC to see if she can play it. It might be depending on how the family (and device) is set up if it's allowed or not etc.

    Let us know the results

    Play Anywhere Question

    Okay, this Play Anywhere is fairly new, there are only a select few titles that you can purchase on Xbox and can play it both on Pc for no additional costs. Now

    Halo Wars Definitive Edition is not one of those titles, but
    Halo Wars 2     is you can go on http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere to see what

    games you can play also on your Pc.
