Owning the pc steam new world and purchasing Auternum on xbox

[Deadpool]

I've owned the base New world game on steam for years. Will I have to purchase New World - Auternum to play it on xbox? Surely if I already own the game on pc and it's cross platform I should be able to gain access to the base version of New World - Auternum for free on console? Can anyone clarify this please.

I know that in order to gain access to all the new features new world auternum brings ON PC I'll have to own the expansion pack on PC. But I only own the base game on pc. Where does that leave me when playing Auternum on console? Will I have to purchase the game again on console as if it's a new game to me?

Also, I know the beta is released soon and I want to participate. Will it be available for download on console? I can't find it on the game pass or microsoft store anywhere. I can only find the beta on steam.

I can't name a single time this has happened in the last half of a century of video games.

For OP:
However, New world is not a play anywhere title, it's possible at some point it might come to gamepass if you're a subscriber, but for the time being if you want to play on xbox, you have to purchase on xbox, on top of that NONE of your characters will carry over, you'll have to start fresh.

Show me again where that applies to any steam game, ever?

This isn't Xbox.

So you can't answer the question and what you had to say is irrelevant to this platform, good to know.

You were corrected and now seem all upset about it. Strange. This platform doesn't sale console games so stop trying to change your original comment.

I like how you are so confident that you're right when you stated

The dude is so confidently incorrect that they actually believe themselves. Some people don't know how to take an L.

As far as the original post goes, it's been answered by some correctly, and others incorrectly. I think the general population knows.

Elder Scrolls Online in 2015 you were able to account transfer from pc to console when it first released on those platforms. Everything you had (membership, characters, etc) was transferred one way, one time. It DID happen unlike you are saying. I literally lost pc access, and got xbox access without having to pay the initial purchase cost. The greedy companies can do it, they just don't want to.

I never said it can't, I said it doesn't.

The fact that you can only name one occurrence pretty much confirms it's not something anyone should be expecting to happen. That's 1 out of a sample size of thousands of games.

You also didn't give an example of the direction that was asked for. I asked when have you seen it done from console to PC. Your example is PC to console.

Again, in either direction this was never a question of whether the technology existed, but whether it's ever used and your only example is 1 time, in the other direction from ten years ago.

Thanks for confirming my point.
