That’s longer than the full game would take me on Steam…

Right @GhostofDelta2

Here you are spreading lies again.

Go back into your corner and don’t come out until I say so.

Wondering if that achievement you are going after will be easier on Xbox, maybe an updated one to where it’s easier to get?

#14

Not sure what you are talking about Tones,

I got all the achievements a while back. A patch came out afterwards that made the grindy ones a lot easier.

Or is that Pop?

#16

Definitely Pop.

Have they said an estimated release date?

“Later this year” is as specific as we have been given.

So far I’ve only seen references saying that Tactics is “coming to consoles later this year”. I assumed the lack of specifying XB One meant it would possibly be a Series X launch/not on the One. But if we can install the pre-installer on Our XB Ones now, then I guess I was wrong.

Bring it on, with a separate list, I’m game for completing it again. Sorry @GhostofDelta2, I gotta hope for a separate list to help my Gears Series completions until I can grind enough to complete Pop in 2-3 years from now.

Edit/addition: I’m confused. Tactics is listed as a Play Anywhere title. I thought those were single/shared achievement list games for Xbox and PC like G4 & G5. But it says “you can play Gears Tactics - Base Game with your Xbox Game Pass for PC, or buy Gears Tactics - Xbox.” If it is Play Anywhere and is the same game as PC, why would it be listed as Gears Tactics - Xbox? And why would I have to buy it since I have Game Pass Ultimate and already have access to Gears Tactics - Base Game?

That’s an interesting point.

I had thought that the game would be series x only, but Xbox seems committed to backwards compatibility. Though how the game actually looks and plays will obviously vary.

On the same lines, just downloaded the place holder, Two things of note, when it says you can purchase it is showing $ and not my currency.
when I checked my cheveos list via the option on the tile, it is showing my 4 unlocks on the PC version, so they do share the same list it would seem.

I recall Tactics getting a passing mention during the July 20/20 event about smart delivery, and therefore playable on the Xbox One.

Sounds good, though I’m back working in the office 5 days a week, so I’ll be slower than I’d like. Since we’ll both complete the console version easily, let’s make it fun and race to see who can complete 12 Gears games first. You’re almost done with Pop, and I just have a lot of mindless grinding in G5 to go.

I would love to download the placeholder. Just not really a fan of turn down strategy. I’m more of a turn based strategy guy.

It just occurred to me that when looking at the pre-installer, it didn’t list the Cole Train content as being available to download. I got it for PC, as doing the pre-install there before a certain date gave it. Shouldn’t that be listed for the console too?

This feels like the Schrodinger’s cat (Big Bang Theory reference) of Gears games. Until it releases on console, we can use fact-based logic to say it is both the same game/achievement list as the PC release as well as not being the same game, thus a stackable list.
