cross-buy

Buy once, everywhere

Cross-buy is a purchasing model in video games where buying a title once grants access to it on multiple platforms.

If you buy a game on PlayStation, you can also download it on PlayStation Vita at no extra cost: The game supports cross-buy, so I got the PC and Switch versions for one price.

The feature is platform-dependent and publisher-determined.
