*this will probably not work with the Steam version
Yeah, this seems to be using the Xbox play anywhere system. So people who have a PC and an Xbox have thier saves synced. I’m sure it will not work steam.
I still won’t buy stuff there, but this is a far better way to make a storefront interesting than Epic. Instead of locking everything behind exclusive deals to try to force people to use your platform, they’re adding actual meaningful benefits to using their storefront. Cross ownership is nice. Game pass is nice. That’s how you provide competition.
Halo works fine for cross save. You will have to but the game on steam as well though
Oh it does? So you need two copies of the game, but cross save works on steam? That’s actually kinda useful for folks with steam libraries and game pass.
Woah there hoss, let’s make sure it’s worth playing on one platform first.
Unless they fuck it up worse than 76, I’m pretty sure Starfield will likely be remembered the same way Skyrim and Fallout 4 are.
I think there’s a good chance that they fuck it up as bad as 76. I’m willing to be proven wrong, Bethesda as a company hasn’t done much to convince me otherwise. I’ll be honest, their acquisition by Microsoft has only given me more monumental doubts. I think the biggest thing Bethesda has going for it right now is pedigree and the fact that the release of their last big series entry was so long ago that people are forgetting how terrible not just the releases were, but they way they handled them as a company, especially where the pre-order merch was concerned.
There was a play tester that said when Redfall released Starfield was in even worse condition and that’s when they decided to delay it for another year.
I’m all for delaying games until they’re actually done, but it’s pretty telling they wanted to release both games in those states.
As a company they’re definitely being held up by some rosy glasses. And mods. They bank on mods to fix whatever they’re too lazy to.
Don’t forget to preorder Starfield so you can maybe receive a… wrist watch? Huh? Lol
That’s the screenshot they’re going with? Really?
Really, Mark Ruffalo? That’s the face you’re going with? God this movie’s gonna suck. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaZ73Yc75YE

We need to find out which system has the most bugs and then play solely on that system for the true Bethesda experience.
pcgamesn is scraping the bottom of the barrel, they literally just find ways to say something with starfield in the title. This has been a thing since at least 2016 when FH3 came out.
It’s a cool feature, always worth some mention, but baffling that they feel the need to generate a whole article out of this.
Yup. It’s also worth noting that it’ll prevent you from playing it on Linux because you can’t run most Microsoft Store apps via wine or proton. Have to buy on Steam for that, but then you lose xbox.
Kinda sucks if you’re a Linux user AND have an Xbox lying around.
You can still play cheaply on Xbox with Game Pass, though, if you want to dual wield Starfield.
I did use it for a while and discovered some games I loved, but I have periods where I don’t do as much gaming and at that point it’ll take more months to finish a game than ((cost of game) / (cost of game pass)) so lately I prefer buying again.
Now it’s been long enough since I last used game pass, I should be able to do the xbl gold to gamepass upgrade trick if it’s still a thing of course.
