    Playing XBox games on Windows with others on console


    So, my wife and I love playing games together. However, she prefers the console, while I prefer the PC. We're looking at playing games like Plants vs. Zombies, Overwatch, and Battleborn together. Is there any way I can play those XBox games on my Windows
    10 PC and play with her as she is on our XBox One? Like, from the XBox app on my Windows 10 PC, can I install an XBox game and play it alongside console players?

    :)

    Thanks

    Just one more problem Playing XBox games on Windows with others on console :)

    When the consol was purchased, I others in the family members made new profiles, but none have xbox live accounts, just used to play games with each other.

    the new phone has a new account, it has an xbox live account.

    1, in consol (Pat) no windows live account, just used to play games with others on consol

    2, new phone (Pat) setup with new windows live account

    Its no big deal, but is there a way to have the phone use 1 above, but with the new gametag of 2

    Playing XBox games on Windows with others on console :) hope you follow that, i know 1 above could set up a new windows live account, but the gametag is in use on the phone, dont want to loose it, already had one change

    thanks

    Xbox (Beta) Windows 10

    steam cross-play with the windows 10 Xbox beta is not possible, you can only play games with other consoles and windows 10 games, steam does not allow, playing with the Microsoft platform

    Is it Possible?

    https://support.xbox.com/games/game-titles/minecraft-version-differences

    Playing Minecraft between devices and platforms

    You can play Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition with other devices running Minecraft: Pocket Edition, such as Windows 10 and Windows Phone devices.
    If you have Minecraft: Apple TV Edition, you can play locally with other players running a version of Minecraft: Pocket Edition. Visit Minecraft: Apple TV Edition overview
    for more info.

    Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition can only be played with other Xbox 360 consoles on Xbox Live. The Xbox One edition can only be played online with other Xbox One consoles. There is no cross-platform play between the Xbox editions and other editions of Minecraft.

    Minecraft vs Minecraft XBox One Edition

    The cross play of Minecraft works as such,

    The PC/MAC is separate from the other versions in terms of cross-play. As in the only way to join a game with console or mobile players (or Windows 10) is to play on a realm.

    Console (Xbox and PS), Mobile and Windows 10 will all work without needing realms as long as your friends are online or on the same network as yourself.

    It is only the PC/MAC version of the game that will require you to use realms to join each others game.

    Forza Horizon 3 Cross-play and Play anywhere

    If you buy the game on Xbox, you can play it on Windows 10 if you are signed into Windows with the same account (same email address). Go to the Windows Store and it should indicate you already own it, and you can simply download it.

    As for the second question, as Lilian hints at this depends on your console. If your console is set as your Home Xbox - that is, your brother can play any of the other games you own while he's on that console - then he can play Forza Horizon 3 on that console
    with his account while you play on Windows 10 with your account.

    Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on.

    Made WLID with an already existing different Email of mine.. Messages not coming through to WLID now. Want to change my WLID email (Have looked all over for A to Q) Help please!

    On the Microsoft Games for Windows live console on the computer, or do you mean on the Xbox console? If the later, then I dont have an Xbox. Is there a way to do this from this site perhaps? Somewhere other than Games for windows live or the Xbox console?
