Gears of War: E-Day is the newest entry in Microsoft’s long-running third-person shooter franchise, and it comes bearing all of the blood, guts, and glory that you’d expect. And as usual, you can team up with a group of up to four players for some cooperative fun in the campaign, or you can jump online with friends and strangers to see who can come out on top in some competitive chaos.
With all of that in mind, you may be wondering about how cross-play and cross-progression work in these modes. Don’t worry — let’s talk about it.
Does Gears of War: E-Day have cross-play?
Yes, Gears of War: E-Day supports cross-play across Xbox Series X|S and PC. This means that it doesn’t matter which platform your friends choose; you can all link up and play co-op or competitive multiplayer modes together without any issues by logging into your Microsoft account.
Does Gears of War: E-Day have cross-progression?
Yes, Gears of War: E-Day supports cross-progression between Xbox Series X|S and PC, so you’re free to jump between the game on either platform without worrying about losing your progress.
Of course, if you opt to play the game on Steam, you’ll need to buy it separately. However, buying the game through Xbox entitles you to the game on console and PC via the Xbox App. So, if you intend to switch between platforms, the latter option is likely your best bet.
So, when you’re ready, you can jump into Gears of War: E-Day and start slaughtering Locust (or each other) right now on Xbox Series X|S or PC. And if you’d like to know how many hours to expect out of its campaign, make sure to check out how long it takes to beat Gears of War: E-Day.
