The second weekend of the Gears of War: E-Day beta is about to begin, and this time it is open to all players on all supported platforms (Xbox Series X|S and PC) - no pre-order or Game Pass subscription required. This time we get to play two modes from August 13 until August 17.
The Open Beta client comes in at a substantial 72.3 GB, making it roughly 10 GB larger than the build used during the recent early access beta testing phase. Players are encouraged to initiate their pre-downloads ahead of time to ensure they are ready to jump into the action as soon as the servers open.
Our Weekend 2 update for the Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta is now available for download.
