The official title was such marketing speak that I hope no one blames me for changing it. Seemingly this only means the Xbox app on PC and not stores like Steam.

    It’s clearly spelled out literally right after the announcement of the first 4 games.

    Each of these games is now available for purchase on PC and also included with all XBOX Game Pass plans. If you already own a digital license for these games on console, that license now carries over to your PC or handheld.

      Sorry, maybe I didn’t make myself clear.
      Yes, it’s spelled out clearly for these 4 games in early release. As I said, I was thinking ahead. Lots of 360 games I own are not available to buy anymore, unfortunately. If this BC program only affects digital licences, it will be a bummer.

      I seem to remember they were looking into ways to convert disc into digital licenses, so maybe that’s how they are planning to do it.

        We don’t know how they’ll handle games that are no longer available for sale. I’d say they won’t be a focus, but will probably be available for those of you who already owned it digitally.
