I'm not sure what's going on, but I think I might be mixing things up. Did you really see that video about putting Xbox games on a CD with Windows 10 Pro? That sounds unusual. Could you double-check the details?

I question Microsoft's decision; they won't create a game for you to play on both Xbox and Windows. Still, you might attempt it.

You won't be able to play it directly. However, if the title supports "XBox Play Anywhere," you can install it on your PC. If your PC is tied to the same Microsoft account as your XBox One, just open the Store and download the game for free—provided you originally purchased it on the console and added it before it was detected.

Microsoft claims you might act out of madness since they previously stated at the E3 conference that new titles from their studio would work with Xbox Play Anywhere and be available in the Windows Store. They quickly altered the message to focus only on games presented at E3, changing the wording on their site accordingly. Here’s a summary of the cross-compatible titles noted by IGN: Gears of War 4, Phantom Dust, Killer Instinct, Seasons 1-3, Forza Horizon 3, ReCore Cuphead, Slime Rancher, The Culling, Everspace, ARK: Survival Evolved, Sea of Thieves, Scalebound State, Decay 2, Halo Wars 2, We Happy Few, and Crackdown. Later updates removed or softened the announcement, and an apology was issued on some platforms. For more details, visit blogs.windows.com. Links: WayBackMachine is helpful.
