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.
i came to lemmy to escape the "fuck epic" circlejerk, thanks
I wasn't being completely serious about leaving for lemmy for that one particular reason. However, one of the biggest problem I found with gaming spaces on "that site" was a variety of dumb circlejerks and tribalism, which is something I was hoping this site would be free of due to a perceived level of maturity. This includes "le epic sucks" discourse.
Just because you disagree with someone doesn't mean it's automatically a circle jerk. People do have valid reasons for not choosing to spend money on the epic platform.
Yeah. Epic games is actually good now
Free games aren't an interesting incentive?
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.
Yeah, you just log in with your Microsoft account once you start the game.
