Gears of War 4 Ultimate Edition Detailed

Gears of War 4 Ultimate Edition Detailed

Gears of War 4 will, without a doubt, be one of the most popular games released this year. The Gears series has been a fan favorite ever since the first game released on the Xbox 360 in 2006. I remember playing it at my friend’s house before I got a 360; it was the most fun we’d had playing a cooperative game since Halo 2 . If you’re a big fan, you’ll have to summon the patience to wait until October 11 to play GoW 4 ; if you’re a wealthy fan, you’ll have to cough up $100 to play the game on October 7.

That’s right, in addition to all of the season pass goodies and some extra playable characters, the Ultimate Edition will let you play the game (one Xbox One) 4 days before the official release date. While typically early access is granted to those who pre-order a game as a reward for those most eager to play, Microsoft Studios has made the questionable decision to reward those who are more willing to pay. If I were a big Gears fan this would totally rub me the wrong way. At the time of writing this article you can only find the standalone game and the Ultimate Edition on the Xbox store. You can find the season pass, but it doesn’t have a price attached to it yet. I’m willing to bet that when it does, you’ll have little reason not to opt for the Ultimate Edition , but we’ll have to wait and see.
