Bounding main Of Thieves was originally an Xbox One game released in 2018. Though information technology is at present also available on PC, the majority of the players yous'll meet in-game are console players. Your friends probably play the game on console because information technology was released there first, but don't sweat it. Yous're still able to add them with an Xbox account and play together.

At that place's a Windows 10 Xbox awarding that allows you to access some games from your Xbox business relationship and to group up with panel players. Even if you're a PC gamer and don't own a panel, you can make an Xbox account and play crossplay games with friends using this application.
