Introduction

Now, let’s take a look at confirmed games that use Unreal Engine 5:

Microsoft has the upcoming release of their new Elite Series 2 Controller, and we can’t wait to get to work to begin improving on the gaming giant’s design.
The Series 2 controller launches on November 4th, and will be shipping with the new adjustable thumb stick tension, hair triggers, and has re-engineered components that aim to improve upon the already great Elite controller. The controller will come with multiple thumb sticks, including standard, classic, tall, and wide dome as well as 2 sets of D-pads. A USB-C cable will also be included, which will provide fast charging through the included dock. Of course, a carrying case is also available.
We’re going to be offering a send-in service for this new Elite controller, so if you get your hands on one early, feel free to send it in. We’re going to be able to make a series of different mods to make things even better, including fine-tuning things to give you the advantage when you’re playing online or in an eSports competition.

The Coalition’s newest crack at the Gears of War franchise has officially launched, as Gears 5 is available for play now… and the first reviews are highly positive for the shooter.
The game launched at 9 pm EDT on Thursday and is available for download on Xbox and Windows. Reviewers and players alike have given glowing reviews of Gears 5, with the visuals, gameplay, and sheer size of the maps. Of course, the story mode and multiplayer modes are also getting love from those who’ve played the game. As of press time, Gears 5 holds an 86 at Metacritic from critics, with an 8.9 rating from players.
Gears 5 is following up the mixed Gears of War 4, which introduced Kait Diaz. The new game continues that storyline, as Kait looks to battle the Locust hordes with JD Fenix and Delmont Walker.
To go along with the launch, an exclusive Gears 5 controller has been launched, and the design is simply stunning. An exclusive Xbox One X console has also been launched with the game’s

Details on the upcoming Gears 5 controller have been leaked, with a sexy new design showing a blue, white, and gray color scheme.
The custom Xbox Controller will launch alongside the Gears 5 game in September and will offer up a design unlike anything else that Microsoft has put out alongside their popular games in the past. The controller appears to be releasing alongside a matching stand, which sees a Gears logo that seems to flow between both devices.
The Gears 5 controller is an excellent way to draw in players to get new hardware, as the game itself is hotly anticipated. Microsoft has revealed that multiplayer servers for the game will be 60Hz for the first time, allowing for fast gameplay for those on all Xbox consoles and PCs. We’re geeked, as we loved the beta gameplay that we got to experience last month.
Of course, we’re going to continue offering custom Xbox controllers to our customers, which has a variety of enhancements,

If previous entries are any indication, a Gears 5 controller could be coming with the game’s launch on September 10th, 2019.
We’re eagerly anticipating a new controller, as we’ve been developing Gears of War controllers since the release of Gears of War 3, and we’ve been jacked about the different designs that the team at Microsoft has come up with over the years. Even though nothing has been officially announced yet, you can just about guarantee that there’ll be new hardware launching alongside the newest game.
If you’ve been sleeping through the last release, we’ve been hard at work making the perfect Gears of Wars controllers over the past few years. Our current Xbox One Master Mod has several mods that are ideal as Gears of War mods include: Rapid Fire, Active Reload, Custom Active Reload, Auto Chainsaw, and Auto Mark. While not approved for eSports events, they give you the edge you need at the time you need it when you play online. Needless to say, we’re going to be

Everybody, let out a collective, “Yessss!”, as Gears 5 developers have confirmed that the upcoming Xbox One/PC shooter will not have any season pass or Gear Packs to try and separate you from your hard-earned money.
The decision is very consumer-friendly, as users are growing increasingly frustrated by not having complete games, despite paying full price for them. The game will instead focus on offering up earnable unlockables, with various grinds and milestones. This is a big shift from Gears of War 4, which had a hefty $50 season pass and charged upwards of $5 for Gear Packs.
The Coalition issued a statement on the matter, which read in part: “We’ve committed to delivering more earnable content than ever before through an extensive new system called Tour of Duty.”
Tour of Duty will have various seasons, ala Fortnite, and will spell out what is required of players to earn each extra piece of content.
Gears 5 follows up on the story from Gears

Load your bullets, and sharpen your chainsaw, as your lancer is going to be getting a lot of work when Gears of War 5 launches on September 10th.
Gear 5’s release date was revealed by Microsoft at their E3 press briefing, showing protagonist Kait Diaz’s role in the game as she, JD Fenix, Delmont Walker, and Marcus Fenix all worth together to reign holy hell on locust scum. The game was originally revealed last year and is slated to be launched this fall.
The single player campaign is included, as is online co-op and local split-screen play, and there’ll also be a robust online mode. It’s likely that eSports will be taken into consideration with Gears 5, as players using the cover-based mechanics will be learning the ins-and-outs quickly. We’re geeked to see how the competitive side of things play out with Gears of War 5, and you can bet we’re already planning out the maps on our custom controllers to take advantage of the action.

The Xbox Game Pass has been announced and it's seeking to be the Netflix of gaming.
The newly announced Xbox Game Pass will cost users a monthly fee of $9.99, but with it will come unlimited access to over 100 titles. Unlike Netflix, users of the Xbox Game Pass will be able to download their games and play them - there will be no limit to the amount of games a player can download at once, as long as they have enough internal memory and their Xbox Game Pass subscription is still active.
Some of the games included in the Game Pass are older titles that can be picked up for cheap, both digitally and in physical form, but a lot of the games are recent releases. Most titles on the list so far are considered to be very decent games, too.
Highlights of the Game Pass include access to Halo 5: Guardians, Gears of War Judgment, Gears of War Ultimate Edition and NBA 2K16. The Xbox Game Pass also includes a number of classic Xbox 360 titles and arcade games such as Kameo, Hexic

Gears of War Ultimate Edition will soon be getting a rather hefty 5GB patch that will be mandatory for all players. As you can imagine with a patch of this size, a lot of things will be changing and there will be a number of new improvements.
The first thing mentioned for the new patch are the number of playlist changes being made. For example, the Execution game mode will soon offer more XP for players. The Coalition made a few statements about the patch changes, including the increase in XP for Execution. "Execution is a mode that can be highly rewarding, but also extremely punishing. To better reward players who take on the challenge of Execution, we've increased the XP gain in the mode significantly."
The Boomshot will also be improved in the new patch - hit detection problems that occurred in the past should now be fixed. Some basic improvements to hit detection on downed enemies has also been improved and hit detection for players taking cover in Clocktower has also

When Gears of War: Ultimate Edition was announced, the developers revealed that pre-ordering the game would make players eligible for all four of the previous Gears of War games on Xbox 360 - these titles would be provided to players via digital download codes and they would be sent out once the backwards compatibility patch goes live on the Xbox One.
Well good news is that the plans for the backwards compatible Gears of War games are still going ahead and now that the backwards compatible patch has been released, Coalition games has mentioned exactly when the four Xbox 360 Gears of War titles will be available for the Ultimate Edition pre-orderers.
According to Microsoft, all four backwards compatible Gears of War games will be available for download from December 1 - if you already own either of the Gears of War titles on Xbox 360, you will also be able to insert the discs into your Xbox One after the November 12 backwards compatibility patch.
