This looks great! I wanted to play Gears on my Series X but I didn't feel like going through the campaign again, and I suck too bad at the multiplayer. A fun 3 hour technical showpiece sounds great!

That's great!

Isn't DLC usually extra for Game Pass titles? I know a couple of games I tried the DLC was not included. Is this a one-off or does Microsoft include the DLC in their titles?
This is the first one. But from reading the article it seems its gonna happen more in the future.

This is the first DLC included in a non "complete" version of a game. Free for Gamepass Ultimate subscribers.

One achievement distription shows possible extra characters?
The Centaur Set
Max out each of the Anchor, Gunner, Pilot, Veteran, Brawler classes

Anchor = Mac, Brawler = Lahni, Keegan was tactician, tho... so. Maybe they changed his abilities to Pilot for this?
So, if that is the case we know who three of those classes refer to. What about the others?

Wait this is just for gamepass ultimate users. Not regular gamepass subscribers what is this bill shit

Yeah, Game Pass Ultimate gets additional perks (i.e., monthly items for Phantasy Star Online 2, bonus champions in various MOBA titles, etc ) that regular Game Pass users won't. The normal expectation of Game Pass titles is that you get the core game, but not expansions. This actually only makes sense as a perk for Ultimate, all things considered. It seems super reasonable.

Looks great. I hope this is a little experiment that they are trying with the 3 person Co-Op experience. It has always been 2 players only. Which always felt weird when you and another person have a computer controlled character playing alongside you.

That achievement has been in the game for a few weeks now, since the operation 5 update. They're the new names for the Horde classes now that they've separated them from the characters.

Maybe it's Hana Cole, she appeared on the trailer

Why do you think that? It is called Ultimate for a reason, because you get additional perks and services and it seems like Microsoft is going down the route of offering additional content as part of the higher tier subscription?

It is still offered as a standalone purchase if you don't want to subscribe to Ultimate.
You can still buy it šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø DLC is not normally included, correct?
It's available for all users, it's just that if you are subscribed on the Ultimate tier, you get it for free.

IIRC, Gears 5 Ultimate Edition is only available on the Ultimate tier.



Correct.

I am sorry but if perks were exclusive skins or timed exclusive it wouldn't been an issue. Plus you also get xcloud and live free with GPU.
I was able to enjoy Forza 4 and all its dlc just by subscribing to pc GP. The reason I have gp is to enjoy all Microsoft offerings Anne not have to buy their content.

This is not how I imagined it will be in future. Imagine Netflix making exclusives just for its higher tier service

Regarding the bolded - pretty sure that you weren't. FH4 DLCs are not included in GP on any platform.

What ? lol

Even on Ultimate they didn't include any FH4 DLC, imagine on the "basic" service.

Gears 5 seems to be the first game to offer it's DLC / Expansions on the higher tier of Gamepass. And that's totally fair. Hivebusters isn't a new game or standalone: it's a DLC

The gameplay looks nuts! Really excited for this, and glad to see a 3 hour campaign - not too long, not too short, just right!

Looks cool, 3h standalone?

Awesome, to be honest Gears are not my jam, but I can do 3 hours if it's included with GPU.

It's not like Game Pass Ultimate is the ONLY way to play, you can always just buy the DLC. Also, I don't think the Forza Horizon 4 DLC is in GamePass? I've been playing the game for like a month now and definitely don't have the DLC included.

It looks great, but too bad I'll be knee deep into Cyberpunk 2077. It'll have to wait until probably sometime next month. Also, it's fantastic that they included it with Game Pass Ultimate.

No, those were originally:

Mac (Anchor)
Clayton (Gunner)
Lizzie (Pilot)
Marcus (Veteran)
Cole (Brawler)

In the last update they separated the characters from their classes, so you can be Marcus as a sniper etc.

Lahni is a "Blademaster". Cole was the "Brawler". These are for Horde/Escape.

Hm? Gears 5 was 3 player... the 3rd player used Jack.

And Gears 3 was 4 player.

I already thought the intro to the Hivebuster mode was a really cool moment/mood, and having an actual story expansion built around that is awesome.
