After a short early access release for preorder customers, Gears 5 is now available for Windows and Xbox One. Early Access did not go perfectly smoothly, so The Coalition tweets they are awarding five days of boost and additional scrap to affected users. The "Play Anywhere" edition is now available for Windows 10 and Xbox One through the Microsoft Store, while the version that supports Windows 7 as well as Windows 10 is available on Steam. Here's word from Steam News: "From one of gaming’s most acclaimed sagas, Gears is bigger than ever, with five thrilling modes and the deepest campaign yet. With all-out war descending, Kait Diaz breaks away to uncover her connection to the enemy and discovers the true danger to Sera – herself." Some reviews for this popped up today, but a majority of them were noted when they came out last week. Here's the previously released Launch Trailer, and here's more on the latest installment in the Gears of War sci-fi shooter series:

Campaign: The world is crumbling. The Swarm has corrupted the Coalition’s robot army and is descending upon human cities. With danger closing in, Kait Diaz breaks away to uncover her connection to the enemy and discovers the true danger to Sera – herself.
