Microsoft has today revealed a bit more about what we can expect from Gears Tactics when it arrives on Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X on November 10th with Xbox Game Pass.
The game, which originally launched for PC back in April, will be getting a range of new features for all Xbox consoles, including new powerful enemies, new Supreme equipment and enhanced controller support, along with a brand-new playable character in the form of Gears of War’s signature companion bot, Jack.
(PC players will be getting access to this content via a free update as well).
- Jack joins the fight – Gears of War’s signature companion bot, Jack will join Gabe and the heroes of Gears Tactics as a new playable character. In Gears Tactics, Jack is a new hero that changes the dynamic of the encounters, with 20+ new skills ranging from empowering auras to hijacking and controlling enemy units.
- New powerful enemies – Deviant enemies are introduced in Gears Tactics, adding a new layer of challenge in the battles, with special abilities that will defy the players’ strategies.
- New Supreme equipment – The new Supreme equipment rewards players with powerful gear to play through the campaign, defying massive bosses and facing the new Deviant enemies.
- Enhanced controller support – Optimized experience for Xbox controllers on console and PC
In addition, the Xbox Series X version will run at 4K Ultra HD and 60 frames per-second - no specifics have been provided for the Series S version. Both consoles will also offer faster load times and Variable Rate Shading.

@KelticDevil

Looks like a perfect xcloud game, hope they add touch controls!!
Did i just see a loot box?
Jack !?! That’s awesome. Wow this moved up my excitement for this.
@redd214 I wonder if it’s in the works.
The X-COM Gears spin-off that nobody asked for and never realized how much we really needed this.
I'm a sucker for those games - let's f&%king go!
@LX_FENIX Nnnnaah, I think it was just 'regular' loot.
I hope, at least.
I'm very excited for this. This will maybe be the first game I play with new hardware.
@LX_FENIX yes, ish.
The game rewards you with loot boxes for completing levels, plus bonus loot boxes available for picking up within the map, or for completing special objectives.
There's no option to buy them, and by the end of the game you're swimming in them anyway.
Probably day 1 purchase with XSS!
