About this game

The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.

From one of gaming’s most acclaimed sagas, Gears 5 relaunches with brand new features.

Campaign: With all-out war descending, Kait Diaz breaks away to uncover her connection to the enemy and discovers the true danger to Sera – herself. New campaign features let you take your character and weapon skins into new playthroughs and enjoy bonus difficulties and modifiers.

PvP: May the best team win! With new modes and content since Launch, Versus rewards every competitive style, from casual to pro.

PvE: Co-operatively battle to survive. Pick your character, pick your class, and hunker down in Horde or push through in Escape.

Three-player Campaign Co-op: Battle alongside your friends in three-player online or split-screen co-op.

Accessibility: Customize your gaming experience with updated accessibility features, including full controller remapping, single stick movement, Adaptive Controller support, narrated UI and menus, improved subtitles and more.
