Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare on the Windows Store Does Not Let You Play Multiplayer with Steam Customers

It looks like Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is coming to the Windows Store. It’s not searchable on the Store at the moment, but the page for Modern Warfare Remastered is discoverable, and it opens the same page in the Store app, where it’s marked as not available for separate purchase with links to two versions of Infinite Warfare that include it, the ‘Digital Legacy’ and ‘Digital Deluxe’ editions.

You might want to think twice before you make that purchase, though: Activision’s “Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered for Windows 10 on Windows Store” FAQ states that Microsoft’s edition of the game cannot be played online with versions that were purchased elsewhere.

Question: “Can I play Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered on Windows 10 on Windows Store with my friends that are playing on another PC platform?”

Answer: “No, you can only play these titles with other users of Windows 10 on Windows Store.”

It’s also not a “Play Anywhere” release, so buying it for the PC on the Windows Store will not get you access to the Xbox One version, and vice versa.

That’s pretty straightforward, isn’t it? If you’re buying it for the multiplayer—and most people probably are—then buying it from the Windows Store puts a real wrench into the number of people you can play with.
