Win10 games can be purchased and used across platforms, free to play across devices

Computer Store News: Today's Microsoft GDC special announcement announced a number of new initiatives for Xbox and Windows 10, one of the most important events is that cross-platform games will soon support cross-purchase, which allows users to purchase a compatible game at a time. Then you can play it on all your Windows devices.

Microsoft says they want to provide players with a unified gaming experience across devices, and with the gradual improvement of the Windows Store, the experience will be perfect.

Through the Windows Store, Microsoft is committed to providing first-class scenarios for gamers and game developers. For developers, a commitment to support cross-device app stores means that they now have the power and flexibility to more easily develop game content across PCs, consoles, tablets and phones.

Similarly, by opening new experiences such as cross-purchase, developers now have more flexibility in providing features for Windows cross-device players.

In addition, Microsoft announced at the press conference that the popular Xbox game "3D Pinball FX2" will be available for Windows 10 later this year and will support cross-purchase. Players who have already purchased the game will be able to play for free on the Windows 10 platform.

Of course, the Xbox executive also announced that the latest Xbox Live SDK will be released for some of the developers of "early trials". These developers will receive full API access for 12 months. If developers want to make their games run across platforms, there will be a comprehensive development center as a core tool for developers to implement this functionality.
