Gears of War 4 will be free-to-play this weekend, Microsoft has advised.

The catch is, it’s part of Xbox Live Gold’s Free Play Days, meaning players will need an Xbox Live Gold subscription to be able to jump in.

The free play period runs from 7.01 pm AEDT on 1 February until 6.59 pm AEDT on 4 February. Everything seems to be up for grabs during the free-play period, including Gears 4‘s story and multiplayer modes.

Gears of War 4 is currently available on Windows PC and Xbox One — and is part of the Xbox Game Pass program, so subscribers might already have ‘free’ access to the game and not realise it.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
