If I buy windows 10 from the Microsoft store will it count towards Microsoft reward points?
 
On Xbox’s website if a game has a “xbox play anywhere” u can get a pc copy for free if u buy the console version.

Does this apply to 3rd part games like Re7 and dragon quest? I saw the symbol on xbox website. Do u get double the achievements?

Achievements are shared between PC and Xbox, as is your save. This does not apply to 3rd party games unless the publisher specifically states it. It is true for all Microsoft games and are on PC and console. Games like Age of Empires 4 of course isn't included because they haven't ported it to Xbox.

We had a lightning storm here early Friday and lost internet for 2 days. I can't believe how gimped the console becomes without internet. Takes twice as long to boot up from being completely off. Quick resume doesn't work anymore. It takes multiple tries to get games to start, sometimes taking over a minute to launch. Can't get into the settings for nearly 2 minutes after finally seeing the dashboard. It was so bad, I thought the ethernet port was hit and caused all of the issues I mentioned. Worked normal again after getting the internet working and restarting it.

Really? On both my series x and one x they load quick, too boot up and start a game. I’m glad on the series x it doesn’t default the background to the og one. But navigation is just as quick…. 🤔
 
Without internet, I'd have to click on a game several times and it would close after loading a screen. On average, I'd have to click on a game icon 3 times to ever get it to load the game. It took 5 minutes to ever get into the settings to go offline which didn't help. Oh well, hopefully it won't happen again. I honestly thought lightning killed it.

I set to offline when my internet goes out and it works like normal.

Great little machine.

But I don't think that trailer does much for them. Mostly filled with games that don't really show it off.

It's a stupid video just like many of the ones they have for the PS5. I saw it on youtube today and just shook my head asking myself why would they waste money on that.
