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!
