So how long until Microsoft puts it out on Steam because comparatively few people buy it on the W10 store?

Wow. If the next Forza Horizon comes out on PC I will be tempted to sell my XBO.

Even if the ports turn out to be shit, I'll buy these over an Xbox One.

Welp....selling my Xbox.
That's probably why. I don't own an xbone and would not have bought any of these games but will probably buy all of them now.

Well, who to say PC gamers planned on buying an X1 for those games anyways? If your gonna buy the games, they still win. The reason why Sony, MS, Nintendo want more hardware in the homes of families is because they will get to sell more software. More software you sell the better it is for them regardless of platform/exclusivity.
Also, gotta give PC gamers a reason to upgrade and get some of that Windows 10 sauce. All strategy here man, companies are in it for the money not to help lubricate fanboy arguments.

I think they realise they lost this generation, and would rather spend their time pushing Windows 10 than trying to compete with the PS4 which IMO is superior in every way. I feel kinda bad for X1 owners but it's great for everyone else.
And just for the record, I wouldn't have bought an X1 for these games, but I will now buy them on PC.

The minimum is very reasonable though. I'm happy to see games pushing cards, as long as it's not because of poor optimization.
If they're running on an XB1 it would be pretty damn hard for them to be that bad of ports considering the PC can just brute force run them at higher settings.

Now here's hoping the PC version wouldn't be terrible.
Looking nice is one thing. Horrendous framepacing is another.

They're probably taking 4k into account.
That's true. And say I did go buy an XB1 and all of these games and nothing else since all my third party games are on PC, MS barely made any extra money with me buying the console. From what I understand, the money is in software sales, not in hardware sales.
Knowing Remedy that recommended spec isn't because they don't know how to write and optimise their code. I can't wait to see PC version of QR if they are pushing tech that hard.
Sunset Overdrive is going to be this generations Tales of Vesperia for me. The one Xbox exclusive I really want to play but can't justify buying a whole other console for that actually stays exclusive and I never get a chance to play it.
This is great news and I don't see this as a bad thing for the Xbox One.
I would buy more games on the Xbox One if they had cross buy with the PC even though I don't own a PC capable of playing most modern AAA games as it could mean that when I get a PC I have some games ready to go or in 10 years time (or however many) when my cheap notebook is capable of playing games from 2016 I have a platform to play them on.
Also I hope they allow for cross play and saves for all these games.
Maybe if they go that direction they will keep the console hardware around and just have them like Steam machines, in that you can build your own but there is a set of hardware made by MS (or 3rd parties) built for gaming and these are the bottom (and possibly middle) specs.

maybe if sales are abysmal on Win10 Store that might happen. but I don't see MS putting any of them on Steam atm. they want people to upgrade.

To be fair, MS could not win either way, to some. They keep things exclusive to the Xbone (like Sony keeps most of it's exclusives to a console), they are apparently letting down PC gamers. Offer it out to PC gamers and suddenly this somehow means the Xbone is dead.
This is great news and good to see MS following up on their promises to PC gamers.
It makes MS more money. PS4 gamers still have to buy MS products to play it, thereby pumping more money into their game development. PC gamers not wanting W10 will also have to buy a MS product to do it. Either Xbone or W10. MS win either way.
The linking of the Xbone version to the PC version is smart too. For most Xbone players, they'll never even redeem the code, but still feel like they are getting an extra boost in value.
Most console gamers don;t have a rig powerful enough to play QB anyway. In fact, most PC gamers don't. The number of potential Xbone purchasers lost by this move is massively outweighed by the revenue this will generate.

Been saying this for months now.
One platform is the new MS manta. Easiest way to do that is to make everything a PC.
Nah only W10.

Hmm, I'm really interested in how much this will benefit Microsoft in the long run. But I'm totally in for Scalebound!

Do we know that it's Remedy who did the PC work, though?
We don't know yet, but i'm 100% sure of that.

Whats the point in having an X1 now if all the exclusives start coming to PC?
Vincent Grayson

Long term, it's a cheaper investment. If you don't already have/want a gaming PC, the XBO is a better deal in terms of being able to play the games.
