As promised, Microsoft and The Coalition have released the technical test build for Gears 5. The PC Technical Test is 14.5GB in size, features easy anti-cheat on the PC, and is currently available to Xbox Game Pass members or those who have pre-ordered the game.
The Tech Test will feature an in-development build of Gears 5 in order to test servers, features, and more. This closed beta phase (which is what this technical test actually is) will feature three modes: Arcade, Escalation, King of the Hill. Furthermore, it will have two maps (District & Training Grounds) and both Bootcamp and Tours of Duty will be in place for players to experience.
Gears 5 will support cross-play between Xbox One and PC, players will be able to queue with friends (though some modes will have limited party sizes) and Tours of Duty will feature challenges in order to bring rewards into the full game.
This first Technical Test will begin on July 19th (10am PDT) and will last until July 22nd (10am PDT). Microsoft also plans to launch a second Technical Test on July 26th.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

You mean you aren’t excited to play as a bull dý?? in the new Gears of Woke?
Even if it was male, or some Alien from some distant world, it def won’t find itself on my PC! LMAO!
Halo MCC on PC = meme game .
What is so meme about it? Are you salty that PC is getting Halo?
You don’t feel it yet, you will, enjoy watching how you keep waiting and that is all you end up doing for this game . Next ,
That should be a given since they compartmentalized it. What’s a little more waiting got to do with any thing? We’ve already been waiting this long, a while longer isn’t going to hurt.
Waiting for what lol? Can you make ONE comment that makes f*king any sense??
F*k Gears Of War.
Crossplay in a shooter? Pointless. The ancients remember Shadowrun.
And easy microtransactions targeting all those kids/teens who follow Shwoud with “social proofing” marketing using multiplayer like Fortnards, but “Rated M for Mature”.
Also noticed they changed it to Gears because (most recently) people kept associating GoW with a certain real video game free of any weird ESA buuuuuullsh*t trying to make profits from non-gamers.
i love games that are not available on ps4.
