Does this allow Marketplace access or is it only game progress?

No fun allowed.

May I ask why Xbox gets so much while PS only gets 2x Booster + an Decal?

Will the XM1 chrysler now be available for PC players too??

Probably not

Also since you added the Rasmussen as an gift for Game Pass, does this mean PS player also will be able to get the XM-1 Chrysler and the F4U-1 which were exclusive for Xbox?

The p-36 has never been a PlayStation exclusive vehicle

Even worse than, because A: they Promote the Pack of the Rasmussen as it would be an Exclusive
B: Xbox has how many Exclusives vehicles?
2-3?

So can Xbox players now use PC discounts and Marketplace?

what happens when you use your microsoft email to log in now to the PC client?

I’m scared to try because my Microsoft email is the same as my PC account from 2013. When 2018 xbox saw WT released and subsequent binding to my gaijin account I needed to use another email altogether.

I have no way to tell im afraid
