Lowest price ever according to the price tracker I checked across all online key websites. The lowest price the GOTY edition has ever been was $11.24 from Steam last year.

I've never played a campaign of Gears in my life. Never owned an Xbox growing up. Played the multiplayer a little, years ago at a friend's home. Looks like this will be my first time getting to know the franchise. 👍🏽

For those wondering. The GOTY edition also includes:
1. Gears 5: Hivebusters Expansion
  • The Highlight: A full 3- to 4-hour story campaign extension starring Lahni, Keegan, and Mac (Scorpio Squad) on a suicide mission across the volcanic Galangi islands.
  • Features: Includes 3-player co-op, new ultimate abilities, and unique boss fights. (When bought separately, this DLC usually costs around $20).
2. Halo: Reach Character Pack
  • Unlocks Kat and Emile as playable multiplayer characters (usable in Versus, Horde, and Escape modes) along with noble-themed cosmetics.
The "Gears 5 - Ultra-HD Texture Pack" is available for both the GOTY and standard editions of the game as a separate download.

Interesting, I noticed that made the main character old and useless and replaced him with a women. I still think worth playing for 4 bucks. Gear of War is one of the best series of all time.

This was a fun ride. Excellent price point for a game that seems fairly balanced on time and content.

Should I play Gears 4 before this?

Thanks. Bought this for like $5 years ago for my Xbox one but never opened it. Would much rather play on my steam deck.

This is nothing like the original game.but it does have splitscreen (its limited on pc) in an age where all games are abandoning it.

not necessarily but it does add some valuable context. Gears 1-4 are fairly straightforward and relatively 'short' games. i went back and played 1-4 as a refresher before jumping into 5 several years ago. TBH, for a game considered 'old,' i think gears 5 looks amazing and well made.

I only played Gears 1 on the xbox 360 back in the day. The MP was so fun, used to pop people's heads off with the sniper rifle, satisfying explosions of the head. It has gratuitous violence, required skill. It had things new at the time like timed reloads, a slower pace, cover, chainsaw melee. It was a different shooter. I don't know how 5 is I guess folks have said it has really changed but I may get it just to see how it has evolved.
