Yeah, but it’ll be too late unfortunately.
I don’t think so man the games been out a week. Let’s give it a few months before we forsake a beloved franchise.
I never thought it was dead but honestly a new release game (that’s basically playable for free) beating a three year old F2P game ON A SPECIFIC CONSOLE is not exactly anything to brag about.
I’ll start to worry about Gears 5 being dead if it’s like GoWJ population which was dead in under a month’s time.
It’s two years old and no other game beat it for over a year. Fortnite is huge. Garbage, but huge. It sure is something to brag about. I read it did record numbers for any Gears game during first days.
Of course numbers will drop as most players don’t spend many hours playing multiplayer or finish campaign. It’s the same with every game. Gears won’t be dying anytime soon.
$10 price drop on standard and Ultimate

Regardless that the game is 3 years old. Its F2P and has had the highest player base for a long time. Apex never did that. Red Dead never did that. We’ll see if Boarderlands can do it.
My point is it’s a nothing statement because we don’t have any stats.
Fortnite was the most played game on Xbox by what margin?
How many people were playing it in total?
How long did Gears 5 beat it and when did it happen?
Was it a spike in the first couple days?
Was there a drop off?
We don’t really have any information. It’s just marketing fluff. And again Gears 5 is playable for “free” to millions of gamepass subscribers. Long story short, we need to wait at least two months to get an idea of the longevity and success of Gears 5. Right now the “stock” is overvalued.

Regardless of what your asking, Gears 5 isnt “free”. People bought the game, people got the $1 promotion and people pay full price for gamepass. It beat out the most played game with mostly early access.
Yes it did, with the help of Game Pass / Ultimate, but for how long ? It’s already dropped to 7th. Looks like everyone on game pass jumped on, it shot up there, and it now looks like it’s dropping because many will have seen it for the broken mess it is. It’ll get worse too, their latest tweet stated their AIM is to fix x, y and z by the end of next WEEK. Too little too late imo.

That’ll be because they put it on Gamepass. This was the first Gears I wasn’t going to buy. I only played because it was on gamepass, which I already use. I enjoy Gears 5, but I haven’t played anywhere near where I though I would. I’m like level 40 or something. This isn’t a game i’ll persist with, like all the others since 1.
Same here.

That’s just not true, at least not on Xbox.
Im afraid so. After all the criticism of this game, Im giving it the benefit of the doubt, but it appears there’s no one on lately. Match making is long and quitting is rampant. This is making it very unappealing to me. Sadly I switched over to Rainbow 6 which is no better in activity but at least its been maintained somewhat.
