Gears of War 4 will have co-op splitscreen and full LAN support on PC

20 September 2016

Gears of War 4 will boast a co-operative splitscreen campaign on PC, reports PC Gamer.

“Technical director Mike Rayner told me adding the feature was a “labor of love,” and that they decided to do it after hearing feedback that people wanted it in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition this March.”

“From a development standpoint, it is quite difficult to support,” Rayner said, “we have to deal with multiple inputs, we have to deal with focus, we have to deal with UI placement.”

In addition to Xbox One cross-platform support (including buy it once and non-competitive multiplayer compatibility), the game also supports full LAN support.

As it stands, this is shaping up to be one of the best Xbox One ports yet.
