Gears of War 4 now has permanent cross-platform play

4.7
Starting today, gamers can play Gears of War 4 cross-platform as part of a special playlist.

Announced on the Xbox News Blog, the Gears of War 4 Social Quickplay playlist will allows those on Xbox One to play alongside (or against) those on Windows 10. Thanks to research from a recent Test-Weekend, Microsoft found that the results no matter which system seemed fairly even across platforms—the mouse-and-keyboard advantage of PC gaming playing not as large of a role in Gears as it would a first-person shooter.

However, Microsoft wanted to be clear that Core and Competitive modes will remain separate to avoid any possibility of gaining an edge due to technologies not available on the other platform.

This is pretty exciting! Who would have thought that a chainsaw gun would be the olive branch between PC and console gaming? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Its cool and good that they didn't include competitive with this as it would be really unfair playing against keyboard and mouse.

They should start doing this more often to games with low population.

Good that it stays in social, imagine if other games took this but made it playable in rank playlists.
