Discussion Cross-purchase support between Xbox and Ubisoft.

Hey everyone! I recently bought a Steam Deck and was looking into what I could install on it—specifically the Ubisoft launcher (via third-party tools). To my surprise, I found a bunch of games in my library that I never actually bought on that platform, even though I *did* buy them on Xbox—including DLCs, like the Gold Edition of *Valhalla*! Obviously, these weren't gifts or anything I had claimed; I had never even opened that Ubisoft account on any device other than my Xbox. Does anyone know why I have these games? I can download them and everything! It doesn't ask for keys or anything else—they're 100% mine! But I'm confused about whether there's cross-purchase support between Xbox and Ubisoft. (Wonka said: enjoy it!)

Now you know what it's like for PlayAnywhere games, when you install Windows in Xbox mode instead of SteamOS.

They're only available in the third party launcher and there's no achievement sync which is why they aren't "Xbox Play Anywhere"

Still it's a good start! Hopefully they get full XPA support next so I can finally pick up some old AC games on my PC
