Microsoft is opening up the model seen with Quantum Break to other titles.

Called Xbox Play Anywhere, Gears of War 4 is the next game to support a single, digital, purchase across Windows 10 and Xbox One. Games will share Achievements and saves.

The games will also support cross-play alongside the inherent cross-buy feature.

Cross-platform play of games will also be available, meaning those on a Windows PC version of a game can play with friends who’re on Xbox One, and vice versa.

Games that support Play Anywhere will have the icon seen above.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
