KI/Microsoft Store Scammed Me!

Definite Edition only available on Xbox1. I play on PC; therefore, no such edition.

It is confirmed to be releasing on PC soon.

It should still support Microsoft’s cross play system. Perhaps it includes a digital code to unlock this version on the PC?

surprisingly enough it doesn’t. PC gamers have to wait for the offical PC release of the DE.

Boo, MS. Boo!

And that also made me very upset because i thought it would not be a version for PC. I would had bought that instead of tossing money in KI gold/Shago. Imo this is a really unfair way of doing business, now that i already expend that extra money, I will not buy it anymore and if we get a S4 I will wait until IG/MS become more reliable on what they wanna sell. I don’t mind in put more coin on KI, but a dog bitten by a snake becomes afraid of sausages, and that’s how i feel now.

The digital version of the definitive edition should be cross-buy. If both the definitive edition and the supreme edition were available when you made your purchase you might (I am not a Microsoft employee, so emphasis on might) be able to get a refund if you call Microsoft support.

Anyway, $60 for all three seasons of KI plus Shadow Jago is still a very good deal, and would remain so even if Shago was $50 of that deal and the rest were $10 total.

Don’t expect any physical version of KI, or indeed any physical Xbox One purchase, to support cross-buy or play anywhere.

the digital version of the DE is NOT cross-buy. buying it will NOT unlock any content in the PC version of the game. this was confirmed by several users here in the forums.

It has also been confirmed by the devs to be available by the upcoming (US) holiday season, sometime after November 20th I think.

Do you know how much for the DE PC version? I already spent $50 for the Supreme Edition.

no official information about that for now. but I see no reason why MS wouldn’t sell it for the same price as the console version which is $40.

If you wanted, you could call MS support and have them refund your money, but you’d lose the Content.

The DE is $40 USD.

*sigh

…the Definitive Edition DISK is not cross buy. The digital version of the DE is cross-buy…but here’s the thing:
The Definitive Edition content is not part of KI.

The DE content is a front-end app that has bonus content such as interviews, music, artwork, bios, etc. And the front end app is currently not available for PC. KI as far as the game is concerned SHOULD be currently, provided that you got the digital version, though I can’t confirm this personally because A: I have the DE disk, and B: I already have KI on PC.

But they’re still working on porting over the DE app to PC, hence why it’s not available yet.

I assumed you didn’t read my original post. If i had such a hard time explaining to them the items that were featured in the supreme edition missing what makes you think they will refund me the money?

I would just say that you mistook the names of the bundles. It’s not a huge deal. Also, you can go here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/killer-instinct-definitive-edition/bvq3fl3201p8 and purchase the Digital version of the DE. You won’t get the bonus content until it releases later this year, but it will give you all the characters and costumes for $10 less than what you spent already.

Again, just use the names of the bundles as the excuse as to why you accidentally bought one instead of the other, and explain that it confused you. I’m sure you’ll have no issue.

again, the DIGITAL DE is NOT cross-buy. buying it unlocks NOTHING in the PC-version. this may change retroactively when the PC-version of the DE is released but nobody can guarantee that. PC players for now should just wait.

@rukizzel Perhaps you could weigh in on this… is any of the content in the Definitive Edition apart from the front-end DE app available for cross-play if you got the digital Xbox version?

Physical store card states it will, but you don’t get content regardless. Devs refuse to say anything beyond the content is coming in the future to DE digital purchasers (Even though it already exists, so…wat). Avoid that version like the plague, me and other people have been ripped off already, and Iron Galaxy wont do anything to assist us.

The app is the only thing separate. You still get Gold Gargos, you still get all the content you purchased outside of the app bundle.

Yeah I get what you mean I can see how it’s frustrating that they did not specified Shadow Jago was not Included they should fix that. Now can someone please do something about these Killer Instinct Threads being in Off Topic section I just came across 5 of them and it’s starting to really annoy me.
