Me and my friends want to play together but one of my friends is on an X/S while my other friend and I are on Xbox One. We can not play together and already spent the money on the game. Xbox won’t let us refund, will cross-play be a thing that we can expect in the future?
i dont have xbox one anymore so I can’t see if this works… but I do know some games have cloud portion on game pass. are you and your friend part of subscription of game pass ultimate? when you get game pass ultimate, you have access to the same game your friend would have. but with the cloud streaming, it means both of you have to have reliable high speed internet. Also if you and your friend are looking to consider getting a series s/x, I do suggest looking on Facebook marketplace where series x can be obtained pretty cheap, like $200-350 for a used one, often coming with an extra controller or disc games (for series x).
