Inside Xbox Livestream feat. Master Chief Collection

[Kite_shugo]

My body is ready

[redBadger]

Third party account: xbox livem hopefully this means cross play with those on Win10 store.

[revengeanomics]

Ah ok then.

Where do I insert my card?!

[SaintBaron]

hello pardon what a 3rd party account. Hope this doesn't end up like GFWL

Store page is up. This is so surreal to see.

[WishesForFishes]

It may just be for linking save data or whatever for folks who already play it on xbone

[FlandersNed]

Remember that Halo 5 Forge required Xbox Live as well.

[mr. jago]

at least they had the mercy to get down to business so we didn't have to watch the whole thing

[blz-Killjoy]

Halo 5 Forge required an Xbox account too. It's just for keeping your saves cross compatible.

[Mio_Akiyama]

Minecraft on Switch has xbox live, which means just linking an xbox account for crossplay

[G-Man]

I mean, I don't mind, since I've got a lot of good shit for all Halo games on my Xbox account. Much as I love Halo, I do not want to grind out achievements or legendary again.

[Scratch]

I've never seen an xbox account required on pc for anything that wasn't a windows store title.
They haven't announced a Windows 7 compatibility yet,

But this should definitely mean crossplay to at least the Windows store version, and hopefully even the xbox version (kb/m balance vs console balance may impact this)
H5f used xbox live for everything, such as parties and shit, we'd have to see what used 343i can do to integrate these features into steam however

[Tuskin]

Achievements and shit from X360 titles don't crossover to MCC.

[Scratch]

There was also this one

[G-Man]

Well this is on PC, so... I really hope achievements will transfer, because I am not looking forward to having to unlock all those achievements again.

As for the games being sold separately, that's probably just for people who want a single, specific game. There's still the MCC for everyone else.

[Ghost901]

They won't. Xbox one and PC are a unified platform.

[Party Boy]

Was there Age of Empires news? I didn't watch the whole thing but I thought they said there would be some news regarding AoE

[Tuskin]

360 achievements don't carry over. Xb1 achievements might.

[FFStudios]

Did they say whether MCC is a Play Anywhere title? I own it digitally, so I'm wondering if like Forza Horizon I'll be able to download it from the Windows Store from my library.

[Tuskin]

They haven't.

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a Play Anywhere, since it released before that program.

[FFStudios]

Plenty of games that came out before Play Anywhere was announced have come to the program. Killer Instinct came out in 2013. Terraria for Xbox came out in 2014.
