The rumors and leaks are being confirmed pretty fast- Microsoft announced today at their E3 press conference their ‘Xbox Anywhere’ initiative, which is essentially going to be their attempt to unify the Windows 10 and Xbox One gaming ecosystems. With Xbox Anywhere, Microsoft will attempt to bring their games to Windows 10, phones, and Xbox, and allow users to play their games anywhere, after paying for them only once- so basically, Cross Buy. This is an idea that the company had already experimented with somewhat with Quantum Break earlier this year.

Microsoft and The Coalition confirmed that Gears of War 4 will be among the very first games to support this feature and initiative, although it will probably not be an unreasonable supposition to assume that all Microsoft first party games going forward will support the program.

Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage and information from the Microsoft E3 keynote, right as it comes.
