At the end of every month, we Xbox Live Gold members are on the edge of our seats for the new games that will become free the following month, and the recently-released game lineup for August 2019 does not disappoint. Beginning August 1st, 2019, Gears of War 4 is free to anyone who is an Xbox Gold member, with Forza Motorsport 6 becoming free August 15th, with Gears of War remaining free until August 31st and Forza free until Sep 15th. Both games are only available on Xbox One, as the Xbox 360 is given its own games for the program.

If you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription, then you can check out Gears of War 4 for free starting today. You'll be able to play through as much of the campaign and Horde modes (and competitive multiplayer, too) as you like until 2:59 AM EST on Monday, February 4. After that time with the game, if you decide you want to keep on playing, then you'll be able to buy it and keep your progress.

With the launch of the Xbox One X a variety of games have come forward with enhanced editions, the latest of which is Gears of War 4. Although GoW 4 was originally released on the Xbox One only a year ago, the Enhanced version for the One X is pushing either the graphics or speed of gameplay itself.

Gears of War 4 is receiving its largest update since release and it comes packed with a ton of new features including new maps, new skills, difficulty levels, crossplay ranked matches, as well as a free demo.  Players who haven't had a chance to pick up Gears of War 4 yet can get a chance to play for free on both Xbox One and Window...

Last week Microsoft was running a "Backwards Compatibility" sale for their weekly "Deals with Gold," meaning you could pick up a bunch of older Xbox 360 titles for cheap. This week, they're offering discounts on some of their first-party title, including Halo 5, Gears of War 4, and Halo Wars 2.

Some good news for all you Gears of War 4 Horde fans out there. The Coalition is holding a special "Feral Horde Weekend" event this weekend that challenges players to survive against some fairly brutal waves of enemies. Should you come out on top, though, there are some unique rewards for your efforts.

Short and sweet. If you're looking for that last minute holiday gift this year, Amazon is offering a free game (Fallout 4) plus a $30 Amazon gift card on select Xbox One S bundles. 

The December update for Gears of War 4 brings a little co-op goodness for PC players. If you'd rather split your screen vertically or horizontally, you now can. This splitscreen option is for the campaign only, however, so playing Horde mode locally is still a horizontal split.

The digital deals are coming. Is your wallet prepared? In anticipation of Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Microsoft has decided to start the assault on your spending dollars a little bit early. Starting today, you can save up to 50% off on the digital version of select titles, like Titanfall 2 and Gears of War 4, and spend just $299 to get a 1 TB Xbox One S bundle.

The Coalition pushed an update to Gears of War 4 last Friday (in the midst of the "Great Internet Outage") to address some of the complaints players had about how quickly experience and credits are earned in Horde matches (both Public and Private).
