Yesterday there was a  surprise announcement that “Quantum Break”, a highly anticipated Xbox One exclusive would actually also be launching on the PC at the same time in April. On top of that, those who pre-order the Xbox One version get the PC version as well, which is something we will see happen more often  as Microsoft wants to bring more cross-platform features to Xbox One and Windows 10.

According to Microsoft’s head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, cross-buy between PC and Xbox One will be a platform feature: “We’ll make it a platform feature. We think it’s good for gamers. More players, more games, better ecosystem”.

 

Creative Assembly bringing total Halo Wars 2 to Xbox One and Windows 10

 Halo Wars, the Xbox 360 RTS that pit humans and Covenant against one another in top-down strategic battles, is getting a sequel bound for Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. What’s more, it’s being developed by Creative Assembly, the studio behind the Total War franchise.

Although no gameplay was shown of Halo Wars 2, we got a quick glimpse at a UNSC soldier (possibly a Spartan) being pulled away from danger as a Brute (who looked and sounded quite a bit like Halo 2 villain Tartarus) grins wickedly. “Run, little demons,” he taunts.

You’ll be able to wipe that smile from his toothy face in fall 2016.
