Never had Game Pass before the Gears 5 tech test, and I haven’t had XBL Gold in years. Nothing stopped them before, and it worked fine. There’s no “obvious reason” to not do it. Why can’t I have a nice physical copy for my shelf, and the ability to play on whichever platform I like, just like I do with Halo Wars 2 and Gears 4? We, as both a player base and customer base, should be applying pressure to MS to bring this back, as this is needlessly limiting and at least mildly anti-consumer. Now, before anyone jumps down my throat, I can’t be too mad, since I wanted the physical Xbox copy to complement my copies of all the other games, but to find that my access to the MP is now restricted to the inferior platform and control scheme, simply because of an arbitrary choice by MS is both disappointing and incensing (and no, I’m not going to purchase the game again, before one of you suggests it). A simple warning of “Hey, don’t buy the physical copy if you want to use Play Anywhere” from either company would have sufficed, but no. This is absolutely disingenuous by both MS for doing it, and TC for not mentioning it. I only found out after digging around trying to figure out why my copy of the game wasn’t showing up in my MS library.
Nowhere in any marketing–not on the MS store, not on Amazon, not at any of my local retailers, not even from TC themselves–has there been any hint that buying a digital copy is necessary. I got Gears 5 for Xbone on the strength of Play Anywhere, so to find out this feature has been arbitrarily limited has left me somewhat p****d to say the least.
Those who did not get Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will have to wait until April 25th in order to get access to the beta, provided that they have a Xbox Live Gold subscription.So I got my physical pre-order of Gears 5 for Xbone today, only to find out a few hours later that MS have quietly decided to rescind Play Anywhere for retail copies? What the actual f**k? I got Gears 4 from retail and it wasn’t an issue then, why is it suddenly an issue now? We'll be releasing in waves to ensure we can handle the load. This means that you should probably wait to actually get your code before you ask time off work to your wait till you get your code. Secondly, codes will be sent in waves in order to make sure that the servers can handle the load. We're only doing 1 code this time so no pre-download Codes will be sent starting on the you won't until the beta starts on the 18th. The multiplayer beta for Gears of War 4 will start on April 18th for those who own Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and The Coalition Studio Head Rod Fergusson provided a couple of useful tidbits of information for those waiting for their code.įirst of all, there will be a single code sent to those eligible, and there won’t be a pre-download available.
