Gears of War 4, after multiple rumors, has been confirmed to launch day and date on both Xbox One and Windows 10. Not only that, but Studio Head Rod Fergusson announced that it will be the first game to support the new Play Anywhere program, which allows you to play games regardless of the device you're on.

This means that Gears of War 4 will be both cross-play and cross-buy. Horde mode 3.0 was also confirmed. Microsoft then showcased a new video of cooperative play.

Marcus Fenix will also be in Gears of War 4.
