Microsoft Studios and Iron Galaxy are bringing "Killer Instinct" Season 3 to a different level of gameplay. With the newest season of "Killer Instinct," Microsoft is showing that it's serious about its cross-platform gaming strategy.
"Killer Instinct" is the first of many games that will feature cross-platform conveniences and perks between the Xbox and Windows PC, reports PC World. Once a player downloads the game into their Xbox One, all in-game purchases and achievements (characters, costumes, accessories, etc.) will be carried over to the PC version, ensuring continuous gameplay.
This feature comes with some caveats for PC playing, though. Players will have make sure that the game's Xbox One version is currently updated. Once it is, players will need to start the Xbox One version, then log in to their account on Xbox One to initiate the save sync, before finally starting it on their Windows 10 PC.
Players on either platform will get to enjoy some perks, the Xbox Wire says. All game features that are playable with the Xbox One version is also playable with the PC version. All characters on Xbox can be played on the PC version, and party chatting can still be done because both are connected to the same Xbox Live Network.
In addition to the cross-platform convenience, "Killer Instinct" will also feature returning and new characters joining in the fray. Fan favorites Tusk the Immortal Barbarian and martial artist-design student Kim Wu are coming back while newcomers Rash from "Battletoads" and Arbiter from "Halo" also join in to crash the party. All in all, there are 26 characters to choose from, when you include the characters from seasons 1 and 2, all of which are joining in. Capping it all up, "Killer Instinct" Season 3 features a frame rate of 60fps, along with 4K support for an awesome visual fighting experience.
Worried that your PC might not be up for the challenge? Microsoft has added a feature for the Windows 10 PC version of the game: a PC performance test. This feature will serve as a guide to help players make the most of their game. Watch the performance test in the video below.
"Killer Instinct" Season 3 is available in the Windows 10 Store now.
