Capcom’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is scheduled to arrive early next week. If you’re having trouble deciding which platform to pick it up for, Microsoft has a promotion that may help sway your decision its way.

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox at Microsoft, recently revealed via Twitter that Resident Evil 7 will be an Xbox Play Anywhere title.

Announced at E3 2016 and launched a few months later, the idea behind Xbox Play Anywhere is you buy once, play anywhere. Specifically, when you purchase an eligible Xbox Play Anywhere game digitally, you can play it on your Xbox One plus a Windows 10 PC at no additional cost.

In-game progress made on one platform carries over to the other so you can pick up right where you left off. The same is also said for achievements, season passes, add-ons and so forth.

The Xbox Play Anywhere landing page lists a handful of Xbox Play Anywhere games currently available including Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, ReCore, and Astroneer with others like Halo Wars 2, Killer Instinct Season 3, We Happy Few and Crackdown 3 expected to be added soon.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is set to launch on January 24, 2017, for Xbox One and Windows PC. You can also pick it up for PlayStation 4 although you’ll miss out on the Xbox Play Anywhere promotion.

For gfwl2 (or windows store) it costs 59,99$, Steam version can be found for 31,49$. For europeans it costs 59,99€ or 28,69€ for steam version. Also you can mod steam version and it will probably work better (and longer as gfwl2 will fail at some point).
 
Wouldn't it be nice if when you walk past the scary black girl and entered the house, Donald Trump is just waiting to shake your hand? Then proceeds to talk about the remaining killer ghosts as "they're great people! Just great. Not like Crooked Hillary. Shameful!"
 
I'm pretty sure that the majority of sales will be on the PS4. It was promoted a lot by Sony.
It's promoted by Sony because they and they alone will have the VR version of the game. The VR version is exclusive to Sony for a year. It's basically the first full VR version of any game. That could lead to a lot of sales.

Key word is *could. The PS4 pro didn't sell well, let alone their VR device. You essentially have to get the PS4 pro just to get a decent VR experience. You're looking at around a grand after taxes.

at the moment the only thing PS4 Pro does is increase the resolution for some VR games. the difference isn't that big between the 2 versions.

What they need to be using the extra power for is FPS. Too many people can't even use it due to the low FPS.
