Gears 5 Seems to be Getting a Themed Xbox One Controller

3.5
It appears Microsoft is giving Gears fans a reason to buy a new Xbox One controller once Gears 5 comes out.

Gears 5 is coming out this September and it seems that a controller for the game along with it. Users on Twitter are posting leaked pictures of the new controller. The controller is grey and white with the C.O.G. logo on the front. There is also lining on the controller replicating what appears to be armor. The buttons on the front of the controller besides the d-pad feature the color grey while the d-pad is white. The bumpers are a darker grey than the front and the triggers are blue.

Fans of the Gears of War franchise are sure to be happy about this leak, which is likely to be true. Microsoft normally releases themed controllers for their upcoming titles. Seas of Thieves is the most recent game to get this treatment. It should be noted that this upcoming Gears 5 controller is not an Elite controller. Gears of War 4 received a themed Elite controller back during its launch year, but the one for Gears 5 is apparently just a regular controller.


There is no information regarding the price of the controller or a release date. Hopefully, with the launch of Gears 5 coming on September 10, it will be announced soon. There is also a multiplayer tech test for the game this weekend that anyone with an Xbox Live Gold subscription can download and jump into. So if you are on the fence about getting the game you can get a taste of how it plays before deciding to purchase.

Gears 5 is coming exclusively to Xbox and Windows 10 on September 10 this year. You can pre-order it on Amazon for $10 right now, or you can play the game with your Game Pass subscription. Players also get to play Gears 5 4 days early on September 6 if they have Game Pass Ultimate. Be sure to check in as we update you on Gears 5 leading up to launch.
