Live for Windows Details Leaked

Published by

No one doubts that Microsoft had plans to bring some form of its Xbox Live service and model to PC gamers after it announced its Games for Windows initiative to reinvigorate computer games. The biggest questions about a Live for Windows service are around pricing and interoperability with Xbox Live. A new trailer for Shadowrun displayed a tiny banner of text near the end of the video which read, ?Cross platform play requires Xbox Live Gold account and hard drive (on Xbox 360), or Games for Windows ? Live Gold account (on Windows).? Clearly, Microsoft has plans for cross platform play between its console and the PC, and the notice of there being a ?Gold? account for the Windows platform indicates a premium, paid tier of service. Again DailyTech has more.
