Multiplayer - 360 only?

Can someone official confirm, you need the XBLA version (360) to start and/or multiplayer games but you can play async games on all supported devices?

Thanks.

Async works cross-platform between Xbox, Windows 8, and Windows phone, and you can start the games on any of the platforms.

Simultaneous multiplayer is only on the 360.

Thanks Brett, makes sense.

for the record I've bought the game on my console, phone and PC. Loving it. Thanks.

<edit> Second confirmation - so the multiplayer achievements are attainable via async games?

So, for the mutliplayer achievements in async mode, they are attainable, however there's some issues with them we're finding out. Basically if you're the winner, on your turn, it should work. There's some fixes we've been testing this week for cases where that's not true:
* If a player resigns, you won't be awarded achievements
* For the team achievement, looks like you may have to be the first player to win it (and your teammate may not, partly because they will watch the achievement and not win it on their turn).

Hope to have all these fixed shortly for our first patch.
