These are the first Xbox Play Anywhere games

Which means cross-buy on Windows 10 and Xbox One.

The first flock of games to support Xbox Play Anywhere have been listed. These are the games that will be cross-buy on Windows 10 and Xbox One, which means if you buy one version, you get the other free, and your saved games and add-ons work with both.

Microsoft announced Xbox Play Anywhere during it's E3 2016 press conference, and it sounds like all of the first-party games will support it going forward. The list isn't much of a surprise, then, but it's there for reference nonetheless.

The Xbox Play Anywhere games:

  • Gears of War 4
  • Forza Horizon 3
  • ReCore
  • Sea of Thieves
  • Halo Wars 2
  • Scalebound
  • Killer Instinct Season 3
  • State of Decay 2
  • Ark: Survival Evolved
  • Cuphead
  • We Happy Few
  • Crackdown 3

There's an Xbox Play Anywhere FAQ but it doesn't add anything noteworthy enough to put down here.
