Gears 5 has a Versus Tech Test running this weekend, allowing particpants to get a taste of the upcoming sequels offering of multiplayer action.
To gear (pun intended) everyone up, development studio The Coalition has released a video explaining new mode Arcade Deathmatch which will make up part of that Tech Test, which we've embedded below.
The first run of the Tech Test itself will run from tomorrow, Jul 19 at 6pm UK time until July 22 6pm UK time, with another set to take place over next weekend from July 26 through July 29. You'll be able to try three modes: Arcade, Escalation and King of the Hill across two maps; District and Training Ground, both of which were revealed last week.
If you want in, you either need a subscription to Xbox Game Pass – Console, PC or Ultimate, they're not fussy – or via pre-order of the full game from selected stores. The download for the test is available now on both Xbox One and PC. Full details, including what PC you'll need to run the game, are available on the Gears 5 Versus Tech Test website.
Meanwhile the full game of Gears 5 is set to launch September 10.
