    I am not an XBox One owner but have access to discounted games through a training service called Expert Zone.

    Xbox Play Anywhere allows you to buy DIGITAL copys that you can play on both PC and XBox one. Does anyone think they will eventually make retail copys the same?

    Not with this generation of consoles, so not in the next 5 years, at least. Too much potential for "easy" piracy, and any steps taken to combat that will impact on the second hand market, which Microsoft has learned is a big no-no.

    Hopefully Expert Zone will add digital versions to their catalogue soon. Thanks for the info
