Here is something really interesting for all Gears of War fans out there. Microsoft has just announced that Gears 5, as well as the Definitive Editions for Age of Empires 1, 2 and 3, will be officially coming to Steam.
As Phil Spencer said:
“Our intent is to make our Xbox Game Studios PC games available in multiple stores, including our own Microsoft Store on Windows, at their launch. We believe you should have choice in where you buy your PC games.
We also know that there are other stores on PC, and we are working to enable more choice in which store you can find our Xbox Game Studios titles in the future.”
This is definitely something that will please a lot of PC gamers as both Gears of War 5 (known as Gears 5) and Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be available on Valve’s digital distribution service; something that PC gamers have requested countless times in the past.
Microsoft has also announced Xbox Game Pass for the PC. According to the company, all of its exclusive games will launch day and date into the program on their global release. Xbox Game Pass will have more than 100 games and Microsoft is working with 75 PC developers and publishers, including Bethesda, Deep Silver, Devolver, Paradox Interactive and SEGA.

mate you hate sjws, look at the main character ,she looks like a feminist. No thanks
How many times did your parents drop you on your head?
Natalie Portman looks like a feminist?
You talking about Cait? in Gears 5? She doesn’t look like a feminist either.
Guy is nuts. Be aware cause if you talk to him too much, you become a potato.
Haha, he’s back, i thought we ran him outta here.
Any hollywood actress is a feminist presstitute
Any hollywood actress is a feminist wh*re
Man, you’re a real moron. If you’re talking about Kait, what exactly makes her look like a feminist, is it because she looks serious?
Anyone would look that way if they were in such a situation and had everything that happened to her happen to them. There is just too much stupid in your comment…
I think he labelled her a SJW Feminist because she is a woman, because no game is allowed to have a female protagonist and not be called a SWJ Feminist propaganda
He didn’t create this situation you know?
Good! The more the bettter 🙂
Thats like the stupidest comment of all
He’s KIM, all he says is stupid.
It’s standard from KIM.
Cliffy B actually said that, when he was working on Gears 2/3.
No Epic Games Store…no buy 😛
Haha, good one!
Lol said no one ah I forgotten the retarded and the shill’s
haha, nice one!
2 was the best
i finished it last night. on xbox one x at native 4k looks pretty good despite being an old game. gears 2 is an awesome game but i still enjoyed gears 3 more
Nah.
thank you microsoft

why am i not surprised that the one person who’s thanking microsoft on dsog is someone with an anime avatar.
Pity. More people will buy this SJW garbage cause “ow it’s on Steam”.
my question is what happens if you already have a paid subscription on your xbox…. can it be transfered to your pc?
Yes. It already is. If you open Windows store or the Xbox app on Win 8/10 it will show that you have “free” games.
Of course, it’s the same account. You can use on both.
Game entirely about chainsawing, expoding, and shooting aliens has a female character
“muh sjw feminist”
I know right?
The anti-sjw public is becoming way worse than the sjw public itself.
It’s been that way for a while honestly.
Man with breasts is an aspect of feminism, and the series got that waaay back. Read my reply to Ugh.
Man with t*ts is an aspect of feminism, and the series got that waaay back. Read my reply to Ugh.
Bro. If you play Gears 4. There is an actual reason she’s the main character in this one.
And what is it?
The other games had female characters as well and they weren’t whiny hipster c*nts
Man with breasts is feminism, even the obnoxious CliffyB confirmed that, because he is one himself.
There’s people that understand propaganda, and people that gets shaped by propaganda. Guess which group you conform to?
And speaking of violence, the series toned down the violence over the years so you are wrong again.
Exclusivity is destined to die!!
Shut it, KIM Sweeney!
LOL….That’s a good one….:D
Stop sniffing glue
Well then, that’s an unexpected surprise.
I wish MS would keep doing this going forward, as they eventually bother to improve their own storefront.
Great news (at least for AOE), and good to see consumer choice winning Microsoft over.
Kudos to MS.
You don’t get kudos when you only do something because you accepted defeat of your store and DRM. I’d give them kudos if this was the way they initially approached things.
What about Gears 1-3? I want that!
All I care about Age of Empires
KIM I have noticed you post in almost every thread, with the intention to start an argument or flat troll. No one on Earth could feel this way, unless they were a failed late term abortion.
“I’m sorry Mrs. Kim I couldn’t get him with this coat hanger, but I was able to stab his head a couple of times.”
Still no Gears 2 or 3 on PC so not interested.
You will have to wait for Project xCloud.
The games are old now and im getting on a bit too. Dont think ill bother tbh.
Ultimate **** you to the Epic Games Store.
Trump ask Phil to not put any Microsoft games to Chinese Tim Store…
I’d like to see them on the Epic store as well as Steam. Though I’m still very much in the FU Epic and your anti-consumer BS camp.
Personally, can’t wait. I loved Gears 1 and Gears 4. It would be amazing if their ported the other ones to PC as well.
Neat, are they Windows 10 exclusive though?
Most likely.
Microsoft really wants Windows 7 to die.
This….
They brought DX12 to Win 7, how has that turned out? Maybe too many cheap PCs in the world running Win 7, which may pay for a game pass.
DX12 just for crappy WoW, what a letdown.
Probably.MS cares more about forcing win10 than sales numbers
MS knows Steam is superior. There is no point in locking their games to MS Store. Gears 5 will sell more on Steam.
£8???? how?
This is the best pc gaming related news that I’ve heard this year. Well done Microsoft and Spencer!
Fuq spencer he hasn’t done sh8t. You gamers love to find someone and worship them to death. You should hate the idea of a Phillip Spencer, standing on stage talking about cloud gaming. NEWS FLASH, THAT’s MORE FUQIN DRM. They will use this cloud gaming nonesense to usher in an age of always- online. you idiots love to sign away every last bit of freedom you have. Fuq You, Fuq Phillip Spencer & FUQ Timothy Sweeney.
You should probably find a different hobby. Go collect guns instead of gaming.
Well as long as their are antagonizing fuqboys like you, I think it’s best I stay away from guns. More so for your safety. Becareful of the advise you give others, for you might find yourself on the opposite end of that advice some day. ….Just Saying.
A barking dog never bites. I’m not worried about some nerd on the internet.
Game Pass for PC is very welcome news. That’s genuinely a good service and its nice that the entirety of it will be coming to PC, not just the shallow version of it we have now.
Jesus Christ, so why haven’t we gotten Gears 4 then? For the love of God release the game on a platform other than Windows Store. Even microsofts knows that UWP is a failure.
I’m not surprised. It will be exclusive to MS store for a year probably and then come to Steam just like every other first party exclusive like QB, KI, Halo Wars definitive, etc.
I think Phil has finally followed through on his PR statements about respecting the PC community again.
“We believe you should have choice in where you buy your PC games.”
Maybe you do, Phil. Maybe. However, MS as a company, obviously does NOT.
This is nothing more than a long overdue concession that Win10 store and UWP are finally and genuinely, accepted as failures by MS.
Better late than never, I suppose. They should both be abolished, and good riddance.
forza racing series please come to steam/epic store, too….. T_T
This is great news! Hopefully they will bring Gears 1-4 to Steam as well! And maybe even Forza! One can only hope.
Gears 3 Was the best of them all and is a Classic. Has everything you needed in a game. This is when they cared and enjoyed hard work. nowadays, why work hard when you can just slap an agenda on everything and then be called hero. Haha, they actually think that social engineering works. They only thing socially engineering is good at, is just pissing off people. which in turn make them reject the brainwash even faster. But apparently if we don’t agree with their, “inclusive Therapy” then we are racists, sexists & my favorite; A MANCHILD.
*sees a female character*
*screeching ensues*
This is getting ridiculous.
Dude, we’ve been seeing female characters for 60+ year sin everything and have had no problem till the last 10 years. You should find out why and stop being so God damn dismissive. Why don’t you go watch the new Batwoman Trailer and that will answer your God damn question you Dismissive KUNT.
Lmao wtf does batwoman have to do with Gears 5. I’ve played Gears 4 and it has the same female character and no where in the game is there a whiff of sjw agenda.
How about you piss off, relax, and come back when you don’t sound like an angry manchild.
P.S. I never asked a question.
You have some serious comprehension issues, because at no time did i say Gears Of War 5 have anything to do with Batwoman. Your ability comprehend/cognitive thought is severely lacking. But what else to expect from a Kock Juggling Thunder Kunt that uses dismissive language like “Manchild” But this is what you people do and for some reason you think that rubbish holds any weight. Try Harder
You should heed your own advice. I never said that you stated batwoman has anything to do with Gears 5 you walnut.
You brought up batwoman in an article talking about gears of war 5. I asked how batwoman was relevant. And it isn’t, so why did you bring it up?
Did you pass elementary school?
Don’t argue with people like this. They will only decrease your brain cells down to their low numbers.
There’s nothing wrong with having a female lead character. And having one doesn’t make the game SJW like some of these morons claim.
I liked Kait in Gears 4, so I’m glad we get to play her and see her story thus time around.
Same. The story wasn’t half bad and the fact that she’s female had literally 0 effect on the story.
“the fact that she’s female had literally 0 effect on the story.”
Then why not be a man instead? Unlike you, i don’t enjoy transexuals.
What makes Gears 5 SJW propaganda is not the female main character is the fact they made her male partner Black! And thats 100% SJW propaganda, it always is, most people on both sides dont want to see any interracial couples, we hate it.
Its the deranged liberals that shove it into movies, TVs, games etc.
If this is satire, well done. If not, jesus christ.
Most propaganda with interracial couples are black male and white female, why? not satire, just asking a question. Well i do know the answer, but i wonder if you can explain why they tailor made most propaganda with interracial couples this way…
You are an SJW thats why you dont understand.
I was 100% honest.
Such travesty shouldn’t be allowed.
Blaming the reaction instead of the source, smh
Why would I blame the source? The source isn’t even a real issue in THIS particular instance. If you’ve played Gears 4, it’s obvious that there is no “SJW” agenda.
All that’s happened is that they have a female protagonist and that’s too much for some people to handle. And that’s a reaction that isn’t justified with this particular game.
There are plenty of games where there really was an SJW agenda like ME:Andromeda and BFV. This isn’t one of them.
If by SJW agenda you look for strawmen like “kill white males”, homosexuality and the like maybe you won’t find it, but off course a political agenda is deeper than that, some media is more blatant and some are more subtle (or in a lot of cases already ingrained on society, like the archetypical badass woman soldier that can kick a$$ as good or better than men, that only exists in movies)
I agree. Agendas can be nuanced.
But again, if you’ve played Gears 4, there is no agenda ANYWHERE. No matter how hard you look. There isn’t even a subtle reference to it.
The game is direct successor to Gears 3 and simply continues the story.
Maybe you missed former GoW dev CliffyB arguing that past GoW games are feminist friendly.
I mean, even newer COD’s are adding female soldiers, which was unheard of in the Xbox 360, PS3 era. It’s cultural messaging is so coordinated only a blind can’t see.
“IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU IT’S ALL ABOUT MY FEELINGS” Gears of War 5 E3 2018.
weird. why i’m now in love with microsoft all of a sudden….
What about Halo Infinite?
gay detected. lul
Age of Empires 2 and 3 is already on Steam though?
