Further, pre-ordering the digital copy of the Xbox One version unlocks a free copy for Windows 10.
It will support cross-save, but not cross-platform play. Along with the Windows 10 version, pre-orders will also receive a digital copy of Remedy’s Alan Wake along with DLCs ‘The Signal’ and ‘The Writer’, playable on Xbox One via Backward Compatibility.
