Xbox One Backward Compatibility is bringing some of the most iconic Xbox 360 experiences to a new generation of players on Xbox One, and today we’re taking a look at one of the classics: the Gears of War series. Fans who own any of the previous Gears of War games on Xbox 360 will receive them on Xbox One via backward compatibility when it launches on November 12, while fans who play Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on Xbox Live through December 31 will unlock all Gears titles for free via backward compatibility starting on December 1. For all of the information on the Gears of War series in Xbox One Backward Compatibility, hit the Gears of War Official Site.
We’re also pumped for the upcoming Gears of War 4, scheduled to release next year. We thought the timing was perfect to look back at the past decade and remember our favorite moments as the franchise comes to Xbox One in a whole new way.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
As the long-rumored Gears of War Collection looks like it may finally materialize on Xbox, the timing could not be better as Gears 6 and movie news swirls.
(Insert “It should be multi platform if Microsoft investors wants more money” JK here)
All jokes aside congratulations to all the gears fans it will be a blast I remember having fun on the first one on my 360 elite till got RROD and quit Xbox all together but that’s a story for another day.
Congratulations 🎊 🍾 🎉 🎈 🎉 🙏
I'm excited for this just aslong is on the pc also cause I don't have the newest xbox console.
Marcus Fenix and the crew could be back on your screens once more, as the rumored Gears of War Collection is near completion on Xbox.
Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?
It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.
Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!
I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.
Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times
The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not
tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear
The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.
Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.
My favorite moment in Gears history will always be the first time i fought the Kraken in Gears Of War 2.
When he opened his mouth and was attacking the ship, i was like 'HOLY $$$$$$'. Great times.
Gears Of War 2 was so close to being my favorite in the series. It was so much better in almost every way.
