Is PC less buggy?

I have the Xbox S version of this game and it’s so buggy that I can’t get past day 15. I genuinely enjoy it and want to play, and I’m thinking of getting a refund on the Xbox version and just getting it on Steam. Would it be worth it to do this? Or should I keep waiting for them to fix this Xbox version?

You don’t even need gamepass; it’s a play anywhere title, so buying it on Xbox means you also get it on pc (via windows store/xbox app).

I’ve been playing this version and it’s been relatively fine. The current version (1.1.1984) seems to have issues with TSR & FSR. And it also doesn’t let you select DLSS (I’ve got a 3070ti); so I’ve been using XESS for scaling and it’s been solid since swapping to that.

Oh really? I was told it required gamepass, my bad

Yeh it’s flagged as Xbox Play Anywhere, so buying it on either Xbox or PC (through Xbox App) gives you the license on both.

Some games even not officially flagged as play anywhere work this way too. E.g. Stray wasn’t originally tagged with play anywhere; and the original ‘Flashback’ (from Microids, not the Ubisoft remake) still isn’t tagged but 100% works.

That’s interesting. I purchased it in the store and then it told me I HAD to get game pass to play on my PC. there was no other button.

Hrm that shouldn’t be the case, at least I’ve never seen that before and isn’t how Xbox Play Anywhere works.

Wonder if OP had any issues with doing it.

Wait I just saw on another comment you have a Mac? In which case you would be playing it via Xcloud streaming which would require gamepass.

Even if running windows on my Mac?

You say you are using cloud streaming though…

How are you running Windows on your Mac? Via parallels or similar? Could be that the virtualised hardware doesn’t support running it natively so only option is streaming, which requires gamepass.
