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.
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.
Been enjoying it! I think the only trouble I have is the single USB-C port, so if I want to have it hooked up to power AND access my USB-C SSD, I have to either hook up a dock or a 3-in-1 plug.
Only complaint is that it IS super heavy. Hard to hold for long term sessions.
*this will probably not work with the Steam version

i came to lemmy to escape the “fuck epic” circlejerk, thanks
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

Yeah, you just log in with your Microsoft account once you start the game.
Halo and other Xbox titles do. You would have to purchase it on steam but you’d still get access to your saves.
Fortunately, I have a Win11 boot drive for my Steam Deck.
How is the experience on that?
