Starfield’spage on the Xbox Store now has the Xbox Play Anywhere tag. Note that this only applies to digital copies.

The inclusion ofXbox Play Anywherewas actually confirmed by Bethesda two months ago in a since-deleted Tweet,as noted on the r/XboxSeriesX subreddit. Though many first-party Xbox titles have this feature, not all do, so its inclusion in Starfield is a nice bonus for those looking to buy the game.Starfieldwill also of course be a day one Xbox Game Pass release.
