Microsoft Announces Participating Games For Xbox Play Anywhere

Last week, during its pre-E3 press conference, Microsoft announced its Xbox Play Anywhere program, in which players can purchase both Xbox One and PC versions of certain games and carry over their progress without missing a beat. Now, it was just a matter of finding out which games would be a part of the program.

Today, we know. Microsoft has confirmed the first games that will be part of the Xbox Play Anywhere campaign, with a few coming in just a few weeks. The titles are below:

-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

Again, the program works both ways, so if you buy the PC version, you’ll get the Xbox One edition for free, and the other way around as well.

Killer Instinct Season 3 should be set for the program shortly (if it’s not already), and Forza Horizon 3 and Gears of War 4 should be closely behind.
