Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10 recently made it on the Windows Store, making it one of the first AAA games available for Windows 10 users. Other upcoming AAA games include the next season of Killer Instinct and Quantum Break.

Gears of War 4 is an upcoming Xbox One game set 25 years after Gears of War 3 and will focus on JD Fenix, the son of Marcus Fenix. Originally owned by Epic Games, the game is now developed by The Coalition, themselves owned by publisher Microsoft Studios.

Gears of War 4 could come to Windows 10

Microsoft’s studio head for The Coalition, Rod Fergusson, recently hinted that the game could come to the Windows PC platform, as well. When asked if the third-person shooter could come to the PC as well, the executive replied “possibly.”

This isn’t the first time Gears of War 4 was rumored to come to Windows 10; previous rumors suggested that it would alongside Scalebound. It all demonstrates how Microsoft is using exclusive titles to increase awareness of Windows Store. Case in point: another upcoming free game available only on the Windows Store, Forza Motorsport 6: Apex.
