10 Massive Xbox One Secrets We All Missed

Play Anywhere is a nifty little feature and one that the Xbox has a foothold over the PlayStation in. The program features dozens of games, such as Cuphead, Resident Evil 7 and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It lets you switch between your Xbox One and PC fairly seamlessly, so long as you have certain things in place. For example, both systems need to be fully updated, the game installed and your account signed into.

Once that’s done you’re all set and can freely switch over whenever you like. This is pretty helpful if someone comes barging into the living room or you’re travelling away from your Xbox but are taking your computer with you. Play on your latest save file, gain achievements and other progress and then simply make sure it’s put back into the cloud afterwards.

What’s great is that, unlike Sony’s alternatives, there’s no worry about input lag. Instead, you simply own the game on two platforms for the price of one.
