Split-screen kooperativt spil har altid være en af de faste kendetegn ved Gears of War-serien, og denne feature vil også være en del af det kommende Gears of War 4.
Studie-chefen Rod Ferfusson bekræftede dette da han var gæst på Game Informer Show, og svarede på spørgsmål fra fans. En fan spurgte:
"Any way you can play Gears of War split-screen?,"
"What you're going to play is basically an alpha build of our multiplayer. That means there's going to be issues, but it's an actual beta. It's not a fake demo; it's not a highly polished thing in the sense that it's set up as a marketing demo. It's actually, 'Hey, we have brand new technology on our servers and we have brand new features on our client and we want that to be tested at scale and we want your help.'"
Gears of War 4-betaen begynder d. 18 april på Xbox One.
