Xbox Play Anywhere
Xbox Play Anywhere is part of the platform support, which lets a single Xbox digital purchase be played on Xbox Series X|S consoles and on Windows PCs while keeping progress and saves linked to the player's Xbox account.
Cross-Play And Co-op
Cross-play is what makes the four-player online co-op model practical, because friends are not forced onto the same storefront to play together. PC players on Steam, Epic, and the Microsoft Store can all share a session with players on Xbox consoles.
Cross-Save
Cross-save behavior across stores has not been publicly confirmed in detail. Xbox Play Anywhere keeps Xbox accounts linked between Xbox consoles and the Windows PC version, and the shared-save technology built on Grounded's foundation is what enables co-op progression. The exact rules for moving a save between Steam, Epic, and the Microsoft Store version will be filled in as the closed alpha and later reveals confirm them.
Status
Cross-Platform Multiplayer is a confirmed feature alongside online co-op for up to four players. Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store are confirmed PC distribution storefronts.
