Xbox Game Pass Subscribers Can Play the Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta Now

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers can now play the Gears of War: E-Day open beta, which offers an early taste of the highly anticipated mainline entry in the sci-fi shooter series. The game, set to release on Oct. 6, now has early access for Game Pass subscribers. Xbox Game Pass, a CNET Editors' Choice award winner, provides a vast library of games playable on Xbox Series X, S, One, and PC, or mobile devices for as little as $10 per month.

With a Game Pass Ultimate subscription ($23 per month), users gain access to hundreds of games, including new releases the day they launch. The Gears of War: E-Day open beta allows players to engage in player-versus-player Versus mode and the new Horde Siege player-versus-environment game mode, a fresh take on Gears' popular Horde mode designed for larger maps, more players, and bigger battles. The open beta is available on Aug. 11 for Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, and PC Game Pass.
