A post to the
Windows Experience Blog from a couple of weeks ago suggests that Microsoft
is working on being able to run Xbox games natively under Windows 10. The post
explains how to install and run State of Decay in Windows 10 Insider Preview
Build 18334, and
PCGamesN notes that
Thurrott.com reports this seems to be the native Xbox edition of the game:
"Instead of downloading from the Microsoft Store server, serverdl.microsoft.com,
where all content comes from including PlayAnywhere titles, the game downloads
from assets1.xboxlive.com." Word is:
Help gaming on Windows and play
State of Decay!
We’re excited to bring technology tailor-made for gaming to Windows. Help us
validate these systems work as expected, and play State of Decay for free
(limited time only!). Just tell us about any problems you encounter with
installing and launching the game.
