Hey remike. Love the site. What exactly does the Xbox & PC tab mean? I took it to mean it's an Xbox Play Anywhere title. But I started to notice some titles that have the "Xbox & PC" tab and are NOT Xbox Play Anywhere titles.

For example Firewatch: https://gg.deals/game/firewatch-xbox-pc/
Is not on the Xbox Play Anywhere list: https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/xbox-play-anywhere?cat=all

What does the tab mean in that case? I can provide more examples if it's helpful. Thank you.

bruce460460 On https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/firewatch/bqqkg9h2stc0 there is a info that this game can be played both on PC and Xbox:

rob006 Does this mean it's effectively a Play Anywhere title without actually being one?

bruce460460 I'm not sure to be honest why this game is not listed on xbox-play-anywhere list. Maybe Xbox Play Anywhere have some additional requirements (like shared progress between platforms), or someone at Microsoft just forget to include it in xbox-play-anywhere list. For us "Xbox & PC" means that you can buy game once and play either on PC or Xbox, and we rely solely on "playable on" info.

rob006 Appreciate the response!

Xbox Play Anywhere = cross save between PC & Xbox
Xbox + PC = you get multiple versions of the game with one purchase.

Some games, like Firewatch, offer the 2 in 1 package, but don't have the Xbox Play Anywhere support. I understand that you will be able to play your game on PC and on console, but the saves won't carry over between the two.
