Gears of War Ultimate Edition Will Launch on PC After Xbox One

4.6
Microsoft announced that the Gears of War franchise would be returning to PC at E3 this year, when they confirmed that The Coalition’s remake of the original title in the franchise, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, would be launching on PC in addition to the previously announced Xbox One release. However, it does seem as though PC players won’t be getting the game right off the bat- Microsoft’s gaming head honcho Phil Spencer confirmed that the PC version of the game will be launching after the Xbox One version.

Given that The Coalition is a small team – something that they reminded us when they discussed why they only decided to remaster one game instead of doing a full fledged trilogy remaster – it does make sense for them to prioritize one version for launch first, before moving on to the other. That said, doubtless those PC players who were looking forward to this release will be disappointed.

They did this once with the first Gears Of War, but it didn't sell well. They haven't done it since.

Sounds great! Always was a fan of the Gears Of War series, I had all of them on 360, but recently ended up moving to PS4. Being able to play this on my PC without having to buy a PS4 makes me happy.

ImHypped Yea , i liked how this was always xbox exclusive , now its not anymore :(


The first one was on PC? Also, Microsoft is making the smart decision and releasing a lot of their "exclusives" on PC. Like Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Halo: Spartan Assault, etc.

Would love to see the Master Chief collection to come to PC eventually granted the first two games are already on the computer.

No. Gears 1 was on pc. That is why the article says, "will be returning to pc." Please read sir.
