Checked the store and seems like its a global release for this expansion. No earlier playing with NZ.

Here a timer until release

"The fun varied fights in beautiful new environments makes for a tense action packed expansion that never slows down.
Its a excellent reason to fire up Gears 5 again and see how amazing it looks and runs on a new Xbox Series X"

Is this preloadable? Can't wait to play this. I'm coming in hot off of my first ever completion of Gears 5 campaign and don't mind some more!

Seriously? It's one of the most optimized games avail on PC.

How? Aside from some game breaking bugs and taking forever to load the main menu (using ssd) Gears 5 is one of the best co-op games ever made and easily the best of the Gears games. PC version might be buggier and less optimized than xbox, but it was a slog to even get a game started.

To me, Hivebusters points to a bright future for Gears of War, where one-off adventures and even anthology tales could be told, Monster of the Week-style, to satiate our appetite for more blood, guts, and viscera. So long as Microsoft can continue bridging great and inventive writers like Kurtis Wiebe onboard, I have a feeling The Coalition will be able to find plenty of weird and wonderful stories, encounters, and characters to explore in this more nuanced, truncated campaign format.

Gears 5: Hivebusters shows that there is a future for Gears of War beyond the Fenix family drama

The Gears 5: Hivebusters expansion is short, fun, and a must play for Xbox Game Pass subscribers

Ultimately, I'm always down for more Gears. It's videogame comfort food to me at this point. Between this and the DMC5 Vergil DLC, time to clear some SSD space for reinstalls. (Wish I didn't presumably have to reinstall all... 110GB of Gears 5 just to play this, but whatever.)

Nice to see the paid DLC is included with Gamepass, hopefully we see more of that moving forward.

So is the DLC incorporated into the main Gears 5 campaign? I am just in Act 2 and just wondering if this is like a standalone campaign or is it part of the main campaign and it thrown in somewhere within the different acts?

How do you preload this on Game Pass? Searched for it in the app and nothing comes up, shows up for purchase in the store.

So, small world, I'm the artist that did that profile pic. It was in the launch firmware for XB1, and they've included it ever since, lol
Amazing little story to stumble upon :3

Nice work! Any other avatars you worked on? How'd the process go anyway? You gave a bunch and they chose?

So many questions lol.
