Gears 5 Ranked Mode Will Allow Xbox One Players Play with PC Players
The game’s multiplayer design director Ryan Cleven confirmed while speaking with GameSpot that Gears 5 would indeed support cross-play across Xbox One and PC, which really comes as no surprise. What’s also neat is that cross-play during matchmaking in ranked matches won’t be compulsory, and Xbox One players will be able to opt out of being matched with or against PC players (or vice versa), which should be a relief for those worried about the skill gap brought about by the different control methods on both platforms.
Gears 5 is out on September 10 for PC and Xbox One. It recently had its first Versus tech test, while another is schedule to be held from July 22 to July 26.

LebronIs6KyloCrux Can't wait for people to complain about PC players having a mouse and keyboard advantage. xD
Lmao it's pretty much even with skill. Unless we're talking about the kids that only wall bounce now in that case keyboard and mouse is op lmao
Not that some controller player won't be better than mouse users (regardless of platform because PC players can still use controllers), but mouse is the clear winner for any shooter.
It's good that they will allow you to disable cross-platform play if you want but it doesn't really matter anyway if it is ranked.
A 'platinum' player for Xbox should be approximately the same skill level as a 'platinum' player for PC. I hope the ranks are weighted accordingly rather than cross-platform not accounting for the difference for control type.
