Today, during Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates' CES keynote address in Las Vegas, Robbie Back revealed that Gears of War from Epic Games has sold 2.7 million copies eight weeks after it went on sale.
"That title is now a Halo-like franchise that continues to drive hardware in a very positive way," Bach said. "We think it's an evergreen property that we're going to be able to leverage for a long time."
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.
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
Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."
1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.
I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.
When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.
Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.
A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.
I bet this will make EPIC consider UT 07 for the 360. Just think with PS3 installed base to reach only about 2 million when the game is rleased epic better rethink the if it will be exclusive. $$$$$ talks B.S runs a marathon.
I was thinkin the same thing funky, but wow 3 million copies thats crazy
I think epic purposes didn't announce UT 2007 for 360... epic fans and unreal fans may have put off gears and just waited for UT... with their knowledge of the 360 it wouldn't surprise me if they brought that over (or announced it in the next few months)
I have a feeling that sometime near the next E3 Epic will annouce UT07 for the 360. The reason being is that why would like only annouce it on the PC and PS3 and not the 360. Was this for Gears of War, i think it was to be honest.
