Making Play Anywhere Mandatory

[Hanley Gibbons]

I still feel like Microsoft missed an opportunity to require all games to be developed as Play Anywhere with the Xbox One X. Even if devs sold them separately (like Cities Skylines) the ability to develop once and have it run across both Windows and Xbox could have reduced development costs in the long run while significantly boosting the Microsoft Store's game selection.

If I'm not mistaken games that are Play Anywhere are almost automatically Xbox One X enhanced since the Xbox One X is just locking the game at the higher settings already present in within it, whereas the standard Xbox One is using a lower preset.

What are your thoughts?
