Play Anywhere
Play Anywhere is Microsoft’s most surprising and welcome addition to the Xbox ecosystem. If you buy a game for your Xbox One, you will also be able to download that same game on your PC or gaming laptop, meaning you can take the game wherever you want. This is Microsoft’s way of providing more options to players in how they experience their games.
This also happens to be a far cry from what the Xbox seemed to be originally. Those first messages showed off a closed-system. One that seemingly required constant check-ins and a steady internet connection. Now it’s being opened up for everyone to enjoy as the gaming industry shifts away from rigid hardware.
This may also lead to more cross-platform play, allowing you to play with friends who may prefer a different platform. Up until now, friends have been forced to buy what others are buying, so this allows more freedom when it comes to spending your money and not giving up your crew.
