At this moment, two independent games — Everspace by Rockfish Games and Astroneer by System Era Softworks along with first-party titled games Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4, Killer Instinct, and ReCore — support the initiative.

The PC and Xbox One players will not get the opportunity to enjoy the PlayStation VR jump scares.

Initiative: Enhancing Gaming Experience

The best part of this program is that the users of Microsoft get to purchase the game and play it on both the platforms. The player will have the ability to sync the progress of the game and save it across all available platforms. The players can then have access to the game on both Xbox One and PC.

While playing the game on PC, the player can leave the game when required and resume it by picking up from where he or she had left it on Xbox One.

The free as well as the paid downloadable materials of the game shall be available for PC and Xbox One users.

For the unfamiliar, to receive complete advantage of the game, it is desirable that users purchase it directly through the Windows Stores or Xbox platforms. One can also purchase it from a retailer using a digital code, which shall be one of the convenient options.

The Resident Evil developed by Capcom is one of the first games that is included under the program and is not published by Microsoft. Prior to this, all the other digital games were available for gaming experience only on Xbox One and PC. It was Microsoft that took the initiative to launch the program in September. This took place along with the release of another game called ReCore.
