It was rumored a couple of months ago but now it has been confirmed. Resident Evil 7 will be an Xbox Play Anywhere title. This means that gamers can buy the video game on either Xbox One or Windows 10 and gain the other version for free. All content will also carry over between each version.

The confirmation came today in a tweet from Xbox’s Phil Spencer who said, “RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard confirmed for Xbox Play Anywhere – buy once, play on both Xbox One & Windows 10 PC.” You can see his tweet below.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
