Console + PC gaming with 1 subscription.

Microsoft has it's good & bad, but I think the new XBOX game Pass Ultimate might be a winner. Those who are familiar with game pass gold know that they offer free game play of hundreds of games AND offer FREE TO OWN games every month. NOW they are ramping up the service to offer the subscription of playable games to A. Console Players @ $9.99 a month. B. P.C. players @ $4.99 a month (intro price). or C. Both for $14.99 a month including XBOX game Pass. The SWEET part of this is that they are offering to UPGRADE everyone from regular live gold to Ultimate for $1.00 (Get three months for $1 and upgrade your monthly Gold membership to Ultimate at no extra cost.) They'll upgrade your current account UP TO 36 MONTHS to ultimate. So,you buy the 12 month live gold for $60.00 for 2 or 3 years worth of credit in your account,and you end up with Ultimate for 2 or 3 years @ $5.00 a month. :eat_pizza:AND more than 1 person can use it. The wife plays on the console under HER acct. I have my own login on the XBOX live acct on the console that I can also use for playing on the PC. I'm including a link to the official page so peeps can see & judge for themselves. here's the comparison/join page https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-game-pass?&OCID=AID2000131_SEM_3zxWyDeg#join And HERE'S the UPGRADE page with the terms of THAT on it. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/gold/upgrade?&OCID=AID2000131_SEM_3zxWyDeg

I do not have an Xbox anymore, but that is not a bad price. Excuse the ignorance as it has been a while since I sold my Xbox360 lol, does the Live subscriptions also allow for PC/Xbox crossplay ?

Direct quote " Cross play on Windows 10 and Xbox One

 

Certain multiplayer games offer cross play, which enables people on Xbox One to play with people on PCs and vice versa. Some games that offer cross play let you turn it off; check the game’s settings if you want to play only with people using the same device that you’re using. A related feature is Xbox Play Anywhere, which—when you own a game—gives you a choice of where to play, Xbox or Windows. Not all Play Anywhere games offer cross play: A game’s editions might be specific to either Xbox or PC, even when that game lets you play with people using the other version. (For questions about Xbox Play Anywhere, see Troubleshoot problems with Xbox Play Anywhere games.)

To see whether a game supports cross play, check details at the Microsoft Store."

Also, here's a link with a bunch of games that support cross play including switch & PS4 games. https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming...latform-games/

 

Best answer is still, some do & some don't.

lol, we still have the 360,the 1x,and get free games for both with game pass. Nice part is they're still making more 360 games compatible for the xbox1 so more classics keep finding their way to it.
