You won’t have to wait until launch in September to try outGears 5. The Coalition is running two technical tests in July with access to Versus modes like Arcade, Escalation, and King of the Hill.
Aside from the aforementioned Versus modes, theGears 5tech test will also have a Bootcamp training mode and a “mini Tour of Duty, where you’ll complete Medals to unlock exclusive Tester Weapon Skins.”
The Coalition notes that it’s using an “access queue system” to keep the servers stable during these test runs, so there’s probably going to be some match queuing during peak hours.
Lastly, for those of you consideringGears 5on PC, the developers have outlined the system specs. As a quick aside, while the final game will release on Steam, the tech test is on the Windows Store.

I haven’t been good atGears of WarVersus since the original game, and despite finding the basic experience tense and stressful as hell,I’m still in. As much as Horde is my main attraction, I glossed overGears of War 4, so that time away from the series has me paying extra attention toGears 5.
