I welcome you guys. Best fighting game ive played. Its amazing, and glad to bring more people to the KI community

 

[alr1ght]

Thanks Dave Lang.

 

[JaggedSac]

And I officially don't need to buy an Xbox One.

Probably best not to pay $350 to play a single game anyway.

 

[Drilbit777]

Wow PC is getting both SF5 and KI? Damn thats pretty good for PC owners.

 

[Mechazawa]

I'ma buy that.

 

[FordGTGuy]

Looks like it'll be for Win 10.

Of course it is, most likely being rebuilt for DX12 on Xbox One and PC too.

 

[Momentary]

All I wanted from this.

 

[New002]

I wonder if there will be cross-platform play à la SFV.

 

[Zeyphersan]

It's going to be on the Windows 10 store, that's how cross-buy works.

I don't think it was guaranteed as cross-buy

I can imagine them putting up a version on the Windows 10 Store, and one on the Steam store. Kinda like how Witcher 3 and GTA5 handled it with their own storefronts

 

[Rhaknar]

I wonder if there will be cross-platform play à la SFV.

There is

 

[MUnited83]

Basically makes that PC is now the platform for fighter fans(access to both Killer Instinct and Street Fighter V + a very active userbase thanks to cross-play)

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Why would you return that? It will probably be cross buy...

I don't live in the same house. Bought it to play around with over the Summer

uh boiiiiiii

 

[DopeyFish]

Cool, this game is free to play right? Buy extra characters and skins?

Free to play, rotatin character

Right now it's $20 for characters per season (8 characters) and $40 for full season

But procing may be different on PC when it releases

And hopefully there's a third season to be announced soon

 

[vg260]

Fantastic news!

Expected, but great it's finally confirmed.

I bought an Xbox One for this game and am still thrilled.

Just let me transfer my progress for the love of god.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Looks like it'll be for Win 10.

https://twitter.com/KillerInstinct/status/610985973850210304/photo/1

Well...duh. Will also likely be MS App Store exclusive and not on STEAM.

 

[FordGTGuy]

It's a 1st party title man.

It's going to be cross-play, cross-buy, DX12 and Windows 10 only.

 

[Twin Tails]

Gonna look real good on PC.

 

[BurningNad]

OH MY GOD

OH MY

GOD

I am so happy. Now I don't have to buy an XBOX One. That was the only reason I wanted one.

 

[denx]

Killer Instinct exclusive for the W10 store was a given, he did mention cross-platform.

I'm totally OK with this tho.

 

[JaggedSac]

I wonder if there will be cross-platform play à la SFV.

If there is, this thing will likely only be available from the Win10 store. Unless they are allowing Steam games to connect to Live services.

 

[Windforce]

Street Fighter V is now irrelevant

In what world? SF is never irrelevant.

On topic, it's a good time for PC gamers.

 

[SparkTR]

Looks like it'll be for Win 10.

https://twitter.com/KillerInstinct/status/610985973850210304/photo/1

I don't give a fuck, WIndows 10 is free let Microsoft have their store incentive to bring games over.

 

[Cleve]

I hope it's on the app store (and cross buy as a result). I'll hardly ever need to turn my xbone on again after that, well, other than to play 360 games I guess.

 

[AWizardDidIt]

ULTTTTRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Defect]

Everybody needs to buy this game now, no excuses.

 

[Momentary]

Windows 10 is free and great. don't know why people are freaking out.

 

[CalamityPixel]

God damn it, thats another exclusive gone.

Its good that more people get to play it, but MS cant keep porting all of their exclusives ._.

I need reasons to keep my xbone, not sell it.

 

[Jaeger]

Love these posts. If you were gonna buy KI for XB1 you would have done it two years ago ...

I'm sorry I'm not as rich as you?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Glad I never got around to buying this for the Bone, I'd rather have this on PC instead.

 

[FordGTGuy]

It's really easy to get it up on Steam...

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Well...duh. Will also likely be MS App Store exclusive and not on STEAM.

I never have problems using a app that's required to play a game that I want to play.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

This is a good move. I have it on XB1 and now can play it on PC as well nice.

 

[paperspace]

Thanks Dave Lang.

Fuck Dave Lang.

 

[C-Drive]

Thank goodness, I loved this game when I owned an Xbox One for a month.

 

[Sal Ami]

It's really easy to get it up on Steam...

*WHOOOSH*

 

[KDash31987]

Already own it on Xbox One, but if it's cross-buy, I'll try it out on my laptop. It'd be nice to have a semi-portable Killer Instinct...though, I'm not sure that my laptop would run it decently. Or at all. We'll see...

 

[SimonM7]

How confident are we/people about cross-buy for this stuff? It's strange that they haven't said anything concrete about that.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Finally. I've been waiting for this for a long time.

I hope the Windows Store isn't a gigantic pain in the ass.

 

[UraMallas]

And hopefully there's a third season to be announced soon

There is another season coming. They are announcing it tomorrow on their show. Unless they are just going to talk about the Windows 10 announcement.

 

[SmokedMeat]

God damn it, thats another exclusive gone.

Its good that more people get to play it, but MS cant keep porting all of their exclusives ._.

I need reasons to keep my xbone, not sell it.

Well there's Gears, Halo, Forza, Crackdown, and damn if I'm not drooling over that Rare Collection.

But if those make the jump to PC, my Bone is going up for sale lol

 

[Quazar]

So if you own game on Xbox can you download for free on PC? (That is for all W10 games right?)

 

[DopeyFish]

Cross buy exists, as has been discussed at build conference

But only cross play was mentioned. We'll have to see if it's cross buy, but it's unlikely.

Cross play means you can play against people on Xbox

 

[RyudBoy]

Holy shit, it was announced? Finally able to get back in it with my TE stick.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Definitely interested in picking this up.

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

I don't even care if it's exclusive, just as long as the community grows and that this game can finally get the the attention it deserves

 

[Twin Tails]

Everybody needs to buy this game now, no excuses.

Everyone can download it for free, so no excuses.

 

[sangreal]

God damn it, thats another exclusive gone.

Its good that more people get to play it, but MS cant keep porting all of their exclusives ._.

I need reasons to keep my xbone, not sell it.

Why not? It's the same strategy as valve in reverse

The Windows 10 store is a huge opportunity for them, that they cannot afford to fuck up again

 

[shaowebb]

This cinches it. Time to upgrade my PC to Nvidia stuff, and set up for next gen. Not missing this one and not really needing an X1.

 

[sangreal]

So if you own game on Xbox can you download for free on PC? (That is for all W10 games right?)

KI is free anyway, but yeah hopefully the addons like ultra edition are cross-buy
