Gears Community

PSA for PC players: We just deployed a small update across Steam and XBOX. We encourage you to reboot your game to avoid any gameplay disruptions.

Earlier today, some players experienced intermittent disconnects, login issues, or other service disruptions in Gears of War: E-Day. These issues were due to distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks targeting our online services. Our teams are continuing to monitor and mitigate this activity. We’ll provide updates if there are any significant changes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The login issue has been resolved, we'll continue to closely monitor our services. Thank you for your patience.

We're aware of an issue causing extending login times for Gears of War: E-Day. The issue is improving and we'll provide an update as soon as possible.

We deployed a fix for the "Marcus-Lancer" error messages occurring for some users yesterday. To apologize for those that had issues getting in to play yesterday, we have granted affected players 15,000 Coins in Gears of War: E-Day. This will not impact your weekly coin cap. For those still receiving the "You're too early" message, please ensure that your account satisfies both conditions: - You own the base version of the game through direct purchase OR are personally a Game Pass Ultimate / PC Game Pass member - You own the Premium Edition Upgrade If you purchased the Premium Edition Upgrade, please ensure the same account also owns the base game through direct purchase or has an active Game Pass Ultimate / PC Game Pass membership.

The team is aware of reports of Marcus - Lancer error codes when connecting to Gears of War: E-Day services and is working on a fix. Please check back here for updates. Thank you for your patience.

Early Access Update: We've resolved issues related to the Premium Edition Upgrade and content on both XBOX and Steam. We're in the process of rolling out a fix for players receiving a "You're Too Early" message. This is expected to be deployed in the next hour.

We're are aware of an issue causing Premium Edition content to not appear for players on Steam. We're working on a fix, but in the meantime, players can obtain their Premium Edition content by navigating to the in-game shop and selecting "buy" on the Premium Edition offer. Premium Edition owners will not be charged, your content should now appear in your inventory.

If you've purchased the Premium Edition Upgrade on XBOX, launch the base game from your library. Do not attempt to launch from the Premium Edition product page. If the issue persists when launching the base game, please get in touch at aka.ms/GearsSupport

We recently published a required Day 1 patch for Gears of War: E-Day. If you're hitting an error when trying to launch, please close the game entirely and check for an update. If you see "4879665" in the bottom left-hand corner of your screen at the main menu, you need to update your game.

The issue is now resolved; the Gears of War: E-Day Premium Edition is visible on Steam again.

We're aware of an issue causing the Gears of War: E-Day Premium Edition to not appear on Steam. We're working on a fix and will share more soon. Collector's Edition owners will be able to redeem their Premium Edition codes when Early Access starts at 8:00 am PT | 15:00 UTC.

💪We're testing the servers in prep for this weekend. If you have the Open Beta downloaded, jump in and help us test before the servers go offline again. The Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta officially lights up on Aug 13 at 12pmPT.

PSA: we're aware and investigating user reports of issues including controller recognition on Steam, sign-in issues as well as various error codes. ◽️Some users may experience an authentication issue with error code (quentin-ehyra). If you are seeing this on XBOX after using Quick Resume, our recommendation at this time to disable Quick Resume via your console System Settings. If you encounter this on any other device, restarting the title should address it. ◽️Some users may experience timeout settings with error code (drone-snub). We suggest you check that your router is not set to high security settings and/or that your firewall settings are not blocking UDP port 443 If you encounter a bug, crash or just have feedback, get in touch at aka.ms/gearscontactsupport
