First Xbox Play Anywhere Games Now Up for Pre-Orders

Microsoft’s cross-platform single-buy service, Xbox Play Anywhere, has gotten its first set of pre-orders starting with ReCore, Forza Horizon 3, and Gears of War 4. You can now buy all three of those titles from the Windows Store, with your purchase allowing you to play them on both Windows 10 and Xbox One.

“When you buy an Xbox Play Anywhere digital game through the Xbox Store or the Windows Store, it’s yours to play on both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC at no additional cost,” Will Tuttle, editor-in-chief of Xbox Wire, wrote on the website. “Plus, when you start playing any Xbox Play Anywhere game, you can pause and pick back up where you left off on another Xbox One or Windows 10 PC, bringing all your saves, game add-ons, and Achievements with you.”

ReCore doesn’t have any special editions or pre-order bonuses. The game is available at pre-order for Rs. 3,324, and will be playable midnight on September 13 in North America, Latin America, and India, September 15 in Japan and September 16 for EMEA.
