In an attempt to bring peace and share some good will this season, Gears of War 4 is seeking to quieten the age old PC vs console debate. To do that Coalition is testing cross-platform competitive multiplayer this weekend, starting from Friday December 2, and ending on Monday December 5.

If your interested? These are the playlist details:

  • 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

As well as the cross-platform play happening this weekend, there will also be another bonus in the form of increased win/loss XP for match completion — to give further incentive to play online this weekend.

If this cross-platform public trial run goes well, we might just see this happen with more competitive shooters.

So what games do you think would benefit from cross-play? Are we moving into an age where Xbox and Playstation owners can fight side by side? Let me know in the comments down bellow.
