Cross-platform play, saves will transfer across versions
Gears of Warco-creator Rod Fergusson took to the stage at Microsoft’s E3 conference to announce that the Coalition’sGears of War 4will be part of the new Xbox Play Anywhere initative, letting players seamlessly move between Xbox One and PC versions of the game.
Players will be given both versions of the game (a-laQuantum Break,but done properly this time), and progression will carry over on both systems. Not only that, but every co-operative mode will have cross-play support, meaning Xbox One and PC players can play the game together.
Right now, the Xbox Play Anywhere initiative has only been announced forGears of War 4, but I won’t be surprised at all if more games are announced for it very soon.
The Coalition also gave us some fancy newGears of War 4gameplay footage, which we will update to include here as soon as it becomes available.
Gears of War 4will be available on October 11 for Xbox One and Windows 10. A specialGears-branded elite controller is available to pre-order now too.
