Gears of War 4

Headlining this week's lineup is the latest return to the Gears of War franchise, which marks the first title in the series designed specifically for the Xbox One. With a new protagonist, Gears of War 4's story takes the perspective of JD Fenix and a squad of his friends, in search of a mysterious new enemy.

Gears of War 4 ships with a full-fledged campaign, a competitive Versus mode and a returning fan favorite: Horde mode. As one of Microsoft's biggest releases this fall, the game will also support the Play Anywhere program between Xbox One and Windows 10 devices. While owners of the Ultimate Edition gained early access last week, Gears of War 4 officially releases on Tuesday, October 11.
