cross platform console and PC

[Beer With Straw]

OK, I got an offer for a free console. I want something cross platform that I can play with a Windows 10 PC.

This is new to me so I ask.

The single requirement (game) is Arizona Sunshine.

Any advice on the console?

Xbox is made by Microsoft and they have cross platform support for some games. Not sure about that particular title.

I did a quick search than said F' IT and emailed Vertigo Games

Well, the game's homepage says it runs on Playstation VR (Not PS4), Windows, Steam VR and Oculus. Thus it would have to be one of them. It doesn't run on standard games machines because it was developed for VR.
Performance on windows 10 is likely to poor unless you have a serious gaming rig.

Dunno if it's VR-only for PS4, but Sony is notorious for not allowing cross-platform play, even between PS4 and other consoles, including games like Fortnite and Rocket League, where they're the only holdouts. Caused a problem when PS4 owners signed up for Fortnite for Switch - and found that PS4 locked their entire account to their console only.

I'm a die hard PC fan and think consoles are a joke. However, luck may have it on my side if I can get an XBOX One for cheap. Originally I was thinking of running multiple VR players on an Alienware PC -expensive! And now I can get less powerful PC alongside the XBOX. Was thinking something like this: https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=7_1203_1446_1448&item_id=121503

In the end, it'll be cheaper. I only was against consoles, especially for like online FPS, when frames per second really seemed to matter. Not looking to do this stuff in the near future. Hence, I may start another thread with some ignorant questions. The email to Vertigo I haven't gotten a reply from.

:EDIT:

Oh, I thought that rig was an i7

Maybe this: https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=7_1203_1446_1448&item_id=117232

Still cheaper
