It's a PlayAnywhere title so it's crossbuy. You get both Xbox One and Windows 10 version. I really don't understand the obsession with HDR.

Gears of War 4's campaign will have split-screen co-op on PC

A question I have. Is it possible to get the Steam controller working in a windows store game? If I got this I would like to play with a controller since that's what Gears is to me, but I don't want to give up mouse aim in multi-player, if steam controller can work I will buy this.

Yes, I'm aware, but I have no use for the Xbox-version.
It's not an obsession, but I'm not that into Gears of War in the first place, and as I said, if I'm paying the premium price, I'm expecting a premium product.
It is a premium product. You just aren't into gears. That's all.

Niiice! I'm still deciding which version I want to get, but good to know there's that option on PC too.
im even more surprised that this game will have LAN support. for AAA games its all too rare. I want it though.
this game is doing everything right

So there's no gray area? Either you're $80 interested or you're $0 interested.
You get both if you buy digitally.

Since it's on pc I'd love for it to support co-op on two separate displays.
Split screen done right.

Split-screen in general is pretty awesome, but on PC it's even better. You don't have to sacrifice anything if your PC is powerful enough.
It's only $60 isn't it?

Fantastic news! Balls in your court 343! 
I look forward to trying out cross-platform co-op campaign as well.

I wonder if split-screen will have separate graphics options, or if it auto-changes some values to reduce processing-load.

But then it wouldn't be a split screen. So no. That not done right.
Yeah xD
But pc have the horsepower to do that, and more.
This just solidified my digital purchase. I have my PC hooked up to a projector and I would imagine this maxed out on PC should look and run significantly better than the Xbox One version at 1080p. More PC games should have local multi.

This is awesome! Hopefully this kind of thing becomes common.
Please get this into Halo 5+1 for PC. I will send candy.

Ah, yes, that is indeed a problem. It is still to this day impossible to connect your PC to your TV screen. Such a shame.

A Microsoft representative and a Sony representative stood on a stage and said "HDR" a bunch of times and now it's essential for every game, apparently. You know, despite the fact that most people don't realize what it actually is, much less own a display that will support it.
I don't know, I hope this obsession passes quick. Not supporting a game because of a lack of HDR that you most likely wouldn't even be able to use is pretty silly in my book. This is coming from someone who owns a 4K HDR TV, btw.

Goddamn, they are putting in so much effort into the PC port that it legit makes me sad that its being sent off to die on a dead ass store where 99% of PC gamers wouldnt even look at it.

Great news but I want to know if I can play one cross play version on my X1 and PC simultaneously.
If not I'll do split screen on PC *providing my 290x can manage it*

Nope. Because it uses the account you bought it on. So ones you sign in on Xbox for example it will sign you out on PC.

Shouldn't a secondary account be able to access it on the Home Xbox?
No believe not. There was a whole discussion about that in Horizon topic and people tried it with Recore and it didnt work.
Me too, man. Sucks.

People would find a way around it. What they're doing is a good compromise.
Nice. Especially for those people who time and time again have been disappointed with devs having a splitscreen mode for consoles and deciding to omit it from the pc version.
Anyways, already have made plans on on playing through this game on the XB1 next month with a friend entirely in splitscreen co-op.

Yeah, I'm sure people would manage to hack in M/KB controls super easily. It just sucks because I doubt the playerbase on PC is going to stick around.
Jup. Looking good.
Kinda NEED that UW for splitscreen coop.
I need this exact monitor.
Yes, the Home Xbox can play the games if another person is logged on. You can also share PC games from the W10 store as well (using the family account stuff) that's akin to home xbox, you can google it.
I bought ReCore. On my xbox, my fiancé can play ReCore that I bought. I go to my PC, login, and can play ReCore there as well. It does not work if one is using the same account to play on both PC/Xbox.
Xbox One S Yes. PC not at launch. Maybe added later if there is much demand.
Then i stand corrected.
Microsoft are selling it on their own storefront, on their own OS. No license fees, no storefront fees. It's £50 in the UK.
This thing is DOA on PC. No one will touch it.

X1S, yes. PC... probably not. It might get implemented if there's demand for it, but the number of monitors that support the tech is vanishingly small.
