Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare locked to the Windows Store – ITavisen.en

You can only play against other Windows Store customers.

If you take the offer in to the Store and buy yourself a cheap copy of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare through them, you should know that the game is locked to the store.

It will say that you can’t play against players who have purchased Infinite Warfare, for example, via Steam, and vice versa – Steam clients can’t play against Windows Store customers.

as of now is Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare 100 dollars cheaper in the Store than on Steam, but it comes with a fairly large but.

According to Activisions Faq, prompts for it if you can play Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered for the Windows Store with friends who play on another platform, and the answer is: “No, you can only play these titles with other users of the Windows 10 and the Windows Store.”

Thus it becomes rather not possible to play against players on Xbox, and since the game is not an Xbox Play Anywhere-game, you get it is not automatically on both platforms when you buy the one.

So who’s idea was this? It was supposedly Activision. In a comment to Windows Central says Microsoft that “We support the krysspilling between devices and platforms for partners that want to use it.”

Since most users probably want to buy the game via Steam, and not Windows Store, we recommend that you buy the game there – even if it is ten bucks more expensive – if you want to use the multiplayer part.
