While speaking with press after Wednesday's Windows 10 keynote, Xbox Head Phil Spencer clarified the process of purchasing games across both PC and Xbox One. According to Spencer, whether or not games can be purchased once and played on both systems will be determined by the publisher.

"We're [Microsoft] the platform," he said. "So, we will enable what the publisher wants to do with their content. I think giving away anybody's content to someone else is not our role. How you end up with the game on both platforms is going to be dependent on who's selling the game."Games such as free-to-play and regular retail releases, Spencer explains, will have differing circumstances between platforms. "...we're just going to let the publishers decide the business model they have for their titles. It will be a game-by-game basis."Windows 10's Xbox Live integration will allow for cross-play in certain games between PCs running Windows 10 and the Xbox One, which Spencer stated he's excited about."I'm just really excited to see how the creative community takes the ability to link both of these large gaming worlds," he said, continuing to speak about the possibilities for players to interact across both platforms. To Spencer, linking the two is Microsoft's attempt "just to bring those social communities together."Currently, Fable Legends is the first game announced to use the cross-play functionality between PC and Xbox One.
