Gears of War 4 will be hosting a PC and Xbox One crossplay event this weekend.
The 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.
Developer The Coalition has previously expressed concern with matching PC and Xbox One players in public matches due to the advantages conferred by playing with a mouse and keyboard.
- The settings for this test are as follows:
- Playlist Type: Social
- Modes: Team Deathmatch, Dodgeball, King of the Hill
- Maps: All (including Checkout and Dry Dock)
- Win XP: 1500 (up from 600)
- Loss XP: 750 (up from 100)
- Maximum Squad Size: 5
We’re not exactly sure what’s changed to stop mouse users having an advantage, but we’re still excited at the prospect of more crossplay titles.
