As someone that has GP for another year I will probably be buying as with the exception of the Lego add on have really enjoyed them so have no issue with paying the extra.

@NORTHERN_beat not true. Cloud saves are just saves that will move between the same version of the game from the cloud.l.
PlayAnywhere ensures that the cloud saves are shared between the console and a Xbox PC version.
At the moment there appears to be no Xbox PC version but the article suggests that one is coming so if I want to play it natively and not cloud It potentially needs to be PlayAnywhere even though some games will have cross save (Destiny 2, Witcher 3 and Balders Fare 3 to name some of the few).
@FraserG A some one who has Xbox, gaming PC and Xbox Ally X (and Steam Deck) I look at the game and if I would really like to play it on handheld and if so I look to see if it is PlayAnywhere first, if not then I will look at Steam but my preference would be Xbox and handheld before PC and handheld.
Examples are FFvii Remake I have bought on Xbox but FF Tactics (no Xbox PC Version) I have bought on Steam.
@XxEvilAshxX same here. I really like my Steam Deck but have 600+ Epic and GoG games which is a bit of a hassle playing and then al the PC GP/ Play Anywhere and I am really tempted by the X as long as it is not stupidly expensive.
It is unfortunate that I lost the email that I had for EA that linked to my GP so can’t do EA Play games on it.
After buying nearly every Xbox within weeks of launch this is likely to be my last generation.
Have just bought a Switch 2 and will probably buy a Xbox ROB Ally X.
I have been listing all my digital games over all the storefronts and I am well over 1500 games most haven't been played so do have enough to last me the rest of my life.
If you take away the issue of data potentially being stolen then this isn’t a bad thing and don’t see the issue and while we are at it bring it to social media.
For me this and GamePass are now the main reasons for me to prioritise Xbox.
Being able to jump freely between my 2 SX, my SS, PC and laptop (and Rog Ally if I get one) is great.
The problem is talking developers to first support Xbox on PC then this.
I know Square does when they release a Xbox PC game so was disappointed to see that it looks like FF Tactics isn’t getting a Xbox PC release as this would have been my choice so now a Steam purchase is on the table.
Could be tempted by one of these but the price might be an issue as the current Ally X is going for £799.
I have a SteamDeck which I love but I do prefer playing on console at home so having the ability to play some of my Xbox games on the move would be a bonus.
I would prefer more companies use cross saves like on Witcher 3 and CyberPunk as I would then possibly just buy some games on Xbox and Steam.
i’m about 140 hours in (bought at release but for steam due to the Steam Deck) and still enjoy throwing it on for a quick 30 minute go. Not sure how many decks i still have to do.
@MinervaX Thats why when doing this you have to use the UKs pre tax amount of £583 as this is what Sony are charging. then use the current exchange rate (about 1.30) this makes it £758 so while it is still more expensive it is not that much more.
I had an issue the other day where it was showing that I didn't have it on games already downloaded. Went the one of the game in the store which did say I had Ubi+ and tried playing from there and then they all worked fine.
Now if only the issue with MW3 on PC GPU where it says you need to purchase the game was as easy to sort.
For me the Delorean, KiTT, The Striped Tomato (if the car is in the game probably quite easy to make), 60's Batmobile and as others have said Ecto1 and A-Team GMC
@101Force Are Ford and Reiche III still at Toys for Bob as I would like to know what is next for the Ur-Quan Masters especially after playing the new version Free Stars that had just released on Steam on the Deck.

Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (January 21)
@NORTHERN_beat so I can play it on my Xbox Ally X natively and share the save with the console.
If I can’t it isn’t the end of the world and I will play on console only but it looks like a game that will fit handheld quite well.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (January 21)
@themightyant Thanks for the info.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (January 21)
@themightyant it doesn't look like it available on PC yet (unless I am being blind) so hoping that PlayAnywhere will get added.
Re: Three Games Are Available Today With Xbox Game Pass (January 21)
I assume a PC version of Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound will be released today but does anyone know if it will be PlayAnywhere?

Re: These Are The 10 Highest-Rated Original Xbox Games Of All Time, But Do You Agree?
For me JSRF should have been rated higher and pushing for a top 10 place as 88 is too low in my opinion.
Re: These Are The 10 Highest-Rated Original Xbox Games Of All Time, But Do You Agree?
@16BitHero I also thought it had better control and loved the way they integrated the music from your hard drive into it.
Re: Xbox Might Have Just Revealed Forza Horizon 6's Release Date
My first thought was typical, just before I go on holiday then I remembered as long as they optimise it well I can play on my Rog Xbox Ally X.

Re: Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Is Getting Amazing Reviews So Far
Unfortunately not a Play Anywhere game like a lot of Square games so may end up buying on Steam so I can play in both big screen and handheld.

Re: Forza On PS5 Has 'Easily' Made $100 Million For Xbox, Says Analyst
I don't have an issue with making games on PS but as this proves they should not be doing them after just a few month. 1-2 years needs to be the norm.

@OldGamer999 AstroBot is a great game and for me the 2nd best game of last year after Balatro but it would not work on Xbox due to the controller.
