Microsoft has announced the Xbox Play Anywhere program, which will allow players to purchase a title once and then have access to it across Xbox One and PC.
The announcement was made during Microsoft’s E3 press conference, when The Coalition’s Rod Furgusson appeared on stage to announce Gears of War 4 will be on PC and support Xbox Play Anywhere. This means that you can purchase it on either console or PC, and play on both at no additional cost.
According to Furgusson, progress and achievement will be shared across platforms. Additionally, multiplayer and co-op modes will support crossplay across Xbox One and Windows 10. Furgusson also announced Horde mode will be making a return.
Gears of War 4 launches on October 11 for Xbox One.
Fergusson recently indicated a PC version of the game was possible. Following this, it was claimed that Microsoft’s “Project Helix” was an effort to further converge Xbox and Windows, with major franchises releasing across both platforms.
