Hi Harmony, Assuming the game is designed to be cross-platform it shouldn't work any different on a different operating system. However, there is a lot more involved in a cross-platform game than making sure you have the supported hardware. Each operating system uses different development libraries, APis, etc which makes it difficult to create games that run on more than one operating system. Plus if the game is written in C or C ++ it has to be re compiled individually for each of the target platforms. A lot of developers just won't bother with the hassle of making a game cross-platform as it takes quite a bit of time and work to accomplish.
