We knew for quite a while that Gears of War was going to make its way on the Windows Store, and the moment has finally arrived. Microsoft is slowly transforming the Store into a place for more ‘advanced’ games, which is an interesting strategy.

We’ve already seen another big name being released on the Windows Store, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and this was after it was initially thought that it would only be released for the Xbox One. And now Microsoft Studios has released Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10 on the Windows Store for a price of $29.99.

Gears of War Lands on the Windows Store

Go ahead and download it now, but be aware that there’s no way to try the game as you only get it by buying. But that’s usually the case with such big games. Here are the top features of the game:

As we can see, the Windows 10 version of the game also comes with the Deluxe Weapon Skin Pack and 11 bonus multiplayer characters. But the standout feature definitely has to be 4K and I guess it will look amazing on either of your Windows 10 device.

If you have a decent gaming PC running Windows 10, and you like this kind of games, then you definitely need to check out the game. Just judging by the screenshots, it will be worth your while.
