Microsoft is gearing up for another round of free play days on Xbox One this weekend, and, this time, Gears of War 4 is on the menu. The game will be free to play for Xbox Live Gold members throughout the weekend, running from January 31 through the end of the day on February 3.
Gears of War 4 first landed in 2016, so it's a bit long in the tooth at this point. Still, this weekend should give anyone who hasn't acquainted themselves with the series a chance to check it out in all of its brutal glory. And if you have an Xbox One X, the game is enhanced and runs at up to 60fps in 4K with HDR.
Once the weekend is over, you can keep all of your progress if you decide to buy Gears of War 4. Alternatively, all of the titles from the Gears of War series are also available as part of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription service, so you can make your way through the entire series by signing up.
