Halo Wars 2 cross-play on PC, Xbox One available late 2017

Halo Wars 2 cross-play between Windows PC and Xbox One will be made available later this year, 343 Industries today announced.

Cross-play between the game’s two platforms wasn’t offered at launch, despite the game being an Xbox Play Anywhere title. That means the game supports cross-saves and Achievements across both platforms.

An exact release date has yet to be detailed by Microsoft or 343 Industries.

Xbox head Phil Spencer cited “longer standing engine reasons” between the platforms for a lack of cross-play; those apparently have been corrected.

Halo Wars 2 is, of course, available on Windows PC and Xbox One. We reviewed the game here.
