Official access table
| Access route | Listed status |
|---|---|
| Xbox console | Included through the named console plans |
| Cloud | Listed |
| PC Game Pass | Listed |
| Game Pass Ultimate | Listed |
| Game Pass Premium | Listed |
| Steam ownership | Separate storefront; not included by a Game Pass subscription |
Game Pass access is a service entitlement, not permanent Steam ownership. If the game later leaves the catalog, continued access depends on a purchase or continued catalog availability.
The announcement does not state that a Steam purchase is included, nor does it turn a console entitlement into a transferable Steam license. Players choosing where to start should therefore separate access from ownership: use the named Game Pass plan for the Xbox ecosystem, or buy through Steam when that storefront opens sales. The current records also do not promise that a save created under one PC storefront can move to another account system.
