The original report is as follows.
Gears 5is due out in just about a month at this point and apparently, a new bundle of the game with an exclusive Xbox One X console will also be coming upon release.
Seemingly leaked thanks toAmazon Italy, theGears 5Xbox One X bundle will contain both the game and a specialized looking version of the console itself. The Xbox One X looks to be ash white/grey and contains the iconicGears of Warsymbol on top of the console surrounded by some cracks. Thecontroller that comes with this consoleis also meant to match the appearance of the console. All in all, it’s a pretty slick looking system and might be one you should look to pick up if you’ve been holding out on grabbing an Xbox One X.
In addition, the bundle will containGears of War 1,2,3, and4along with the latest entry in the series. It’ll also come with one month of Xbox Game Pass and one month of Xbox Live Gold.
Considering this leaked ahead of time, Microsoft might just opt to formally reveal the bundle sooner rather than later, assuming they already weren’t planning to unveil it soon. And if we don’t hear anything directly from Microsoft soon, well, there’s a good chance that this might have been a Gamescom announcement that got out a couple of weeks in advance. Either way, because the bundle appeared on a retail site, it’s almost certainly real. It’ll likely go up for pre-order on other retail sites after its reveal.
According to the Amazon listing, this bundle is set to release on June 25, 2025, which is the early access launch date for the game.Gears 5itself is set to release worldwide on Xbox One and PC on September 10.
