Microsoft Store vs Steam

[Wayreth]

I really enjoyed playing the Microsoft Store demo version multiple times in the past few weeks, and was waiting to see if the price would drop with the Steam release.

Since the price stayed the same, and given that some people have been complaining about some issues related to performance in the Steam version, I'm more inclined to purchase the game over at MS Store (because I had zero issues running it, aside from one time when I couldn't log in to my MS account).

I intend to buy the game for single-player only. Can anyone that owns the game at MS Store and does not have a gamepass (i.e just logs in with a regular/free MS account) comment on their experience? Are there any limitations? Thanks!

I have both the Horizon 3 version and this version both for the PC and it works fine. My brother has the game and has never had any issues with downloading or playing. No limitations in game. You just buy it and download it and then start it once its finished downloading. Its a good sized file.
I recommend waiting for a sale on the DLC as the standard version comes with a ton of cars already. Lego island is kind of weak but its ok. Fortune island is the better DLC in my opinion. It gives you millions of dollars for free.

Way to expensive here.
I have on Ms store never had any problems with it.
Running 4k High setting on my old Gtx1080 @ locked 60 fps.
I got it a few weeks after release for £20 and that will also play on Xbox.

If you still use a set of Microsoft services, there is no comparability, because they are all the same

Great stuff, guys. This is the feedback I was looking for. Thanks!
