Ultimate value – now you can play the few MS games they bother to release without needing to waste money on their derelict hardware.

In reply to Troy Marcel. No, just a few idiots like you. As much as MS would like to kill off used game sales, most people are smart enough to see what's going on. There are very few people like you that like being controlled by Microsoft,which is why they just announced that more future Xbox exclusive games will be coming to Steam. How does it feel to be constantly lied to?

In reply to Doggystyle. More people are buying digital these days and it's only going to grow.

The central theme is “buy any digital copy”. The central idea is that the more they can get you to buy digital copies of Xbox games, the less physical games you are able to trade in to Gamestops. Its their “no used games” policy that they tried to push at launch, now masked as a “tremendous value” thru play anywhere. They wish you would buy all of your Xbox One games digitally to lock your digital games investment to your gamertag. That digital game library investment means that there is less reason to trade your games, or sell your used console. These guys don’t ever sleep on a good scheme. I never buy big AAA games digitally on PS4. Always physical, with the option to trade in. Digital is for suckers.

What normal person would be mad at a game releasing on PC and Xbox? Its an absolutely ridiculous position to take.

Its the perfect idea. I’d love every game to work that way. Then I have the option of where I want to play and how. For example I don’t have a wheel setup for Xbox one but I’ve invested about $1000 in my PC racing setup. Now when I want to play forza with that setup I’ll be able to on PC. I’ll also be able to take advantage of higher resolution and better visuals. When I want to just quickly jump in and play with a controller I can just do so on the Xbox and no matter where I’m playing my save is automatically always there and I can play with anyone on either platform.

It also means if you own an Xbox one and a gaming PC you can play with someone in your own house at the same time by signing into your Xbox on a 2nd gamertag and using the primary gt on PC. This also works with 2 Xbox ones in the same house. A feature I’ve taken great advantage of essentially bringing couch coop back into games that only support online coop
