Gears of War 4 - September Matchmaking Improvements

  • 377

Beginning with the launch of Ranked Season 2, we are delivering the following improvements:

·         Stricter skill matching that prioritizes tiers around you – and allows more time to search for those matches

·         More accurate Tier Placements for each playlist
 

When will we get these changes in game?
The transition from Regional to Quality of Service (QoS) based matchmaking will take place with our September Update. Following the release of QoS matchmaking, we will implement the skill-based matchmaking improvements with the launch of Ranked Season 2.

When is Ranked Season 2 taking place?
Ranked Season 2 is now targeted to take place beginning mid-September, barring any delays to implement these matchmaking improvements. We want to make sure these improvements are in place to provide the fairest playing field possible going into next Season. Stay tuned for a specific date announcement in September.

Will you be combining Xbox One and Windows 10 Ranks at any point?
Yes! We are planning to have one uniformed ranking system rather than on a per-platform basis moving into Season 2. We’ll announce more details of this transition closer to the time.

That's some interesting news, but does anyone still play this game?

Increasing matchmaking time to improve overall quality of matches is always a welcome change
