Xbone "Play anywhere" release date? Retroactive?

Abysymal · Jun 13, 2016

Title pretty much says it all. At E3, the "Play anywhere" thing was announced. If you buy a Win10 game that is also on Xbone, you get a copy of the game for both, Win10 and Xbone. Vice versa.

So, I bought Gears Ultimate Edition on Win10, and a friend bought it on Xbone. Will my friend now get it for his PC as well? And when does the "Play Anywhere" thing become active? (If anyone knows)

Also, kind of a shame cross platform play wasn't announced. It would've been nice for Gears UE on PC to get a decent population.

Recore "play anywhere"

no, you do not need an xbox for Play Anywhere games. yes, you will need to buy it digitally, and you will need to play with your gamertag on a Windows 10 PC.

you can read more about it here: www.xbox.com/.../xbox-play-anywhere

there is also a link on that page to preorder ReCore.

Recore "play anywhere"

Hi all,

I am really looking forward to the release of the game Recore, I looked into the game and decided that i wanted to pre order it. The only thing that keeps me back is that it says that it has "Xbox play anywhere". I am only interested in playing it on my
desktop since i don't own a xbox one, can you buy/ play the game solely on computer or do you need to own a Xbox one console.

If you don't require a Xbox one in order to buy and play the game, do you have to buy the game in the microsoft store since i can't find physical copies of the game for computer.

(I do own a xbox 360 but i don't use it actively and it doesnt have an xbox live gold subscription)

Hey, Abysymal! You can find out which games are compatible on our
Xbox Play Anywhere page. Coming this year, “ReCore,” “Gears of War 4,” and “Forza Horizon 3” are Xbox Play Anywhere titles. And next year, that will include “Halo Wars 2,” “Scalebound,” “Crackdown 3” and more. Our goal is to make as many Xbox titles as
possible Xbox Play Anywhere. In addition, several ID@Xbox titles including “Ark: Survival Evolved” and “We Happy Few” have announced their participation in Xbox Play Anywhere.

It would be nice if they opened it up as Play Anywhere retroactively but at this point I’d be happy to get an X patch released.

Thanks for the info but me and my friends call it the sexbone if that helps...

Smite on the Xbox One will be free to play. As for beta that will start, closed Beta will start in April. If you signed up to receive a code, Alpha testing, those will start being handed out on March 11th. I just watch a video about it over on IGN. Here
is the link to that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQHQeDl3QCg It is a lengthy video but they answer some question if you want to check it out yourself. The discussion about Alpha/Beta start around the 23 minute mark.

Hope this Helps.

I just thought people used "xbone", because they're 13 or under and it makes them giggle like a little girl?
