Cross-buy informations:
If you are planning to purchase either version of Gears 5 via the Windows Store, you will also get the same version of the game to play on Xbox One (and vice versa). Any purchases you make via Windows Store will also carry to your Xbox version of the game.
Please note that purchasing via Steam is not part of the crossbuy platform. Purchases via Windows Store will not include a Steam copy of the game, and Steam purchasers will not get access to the game on Xbox One or Windows Store.
Cross-play:
Gears 5 supports Crossplay across Xbox One and PC for Campaign Co-Op, Versus, Horde and Escape.
Ranked play also supports Crossplay, though players on console will have the option to disable cross-platform ranked play should they choose to do so.
Regarding PC version quality:
AMD and Nvidia will be providing game-ready drivers for Gears 5 ready for launch day. We have worked with both partners to ensure further stability improvements in our partner’s game launch drivers.

21/9 and 32/9 support:
