Who are better gamers? PC players or console players? The argument could go back and forth until someone either gives up or dies. Gears of War 4 is attempting to fuel the fire this weekend, when the game is switching on competitive cross-play between PC and Xbox One players.
This means that PC and Xbox One players can opt to battle each other within the game. Players can join the dedicated cross-play playlist from Friday December 2 through Monday December 5. The social-type playlist will include Team Deathmatch, Dodgeball, King of the Hill, and will feature all maps including Checkout and Dry Dock.
“This test is being conducted to evaluate the potential of a more permanent Crossplay solution in the future to allow Windows 10 and Xbox One gamers to play together in Versus outside of Private Matches,” wrote a representative.
Developers are also offering increased XP across the board to encourage players to jump in and help test the idea: wins will net you 1,500 XP (up from the usual 600), and even losses are worth 750 XP (up from the usual 100).
This battle is sure to go down in history.
