It's almost time for Gears of War: E-Day! The Coalition has confirmed today that the game has gone "gold", which essentially means that it's ready to be pressed onto a disc and made available to download in the very near future.
As part of this, it's been confirmed that pre-installs for Gears of War: E-Day will begin on September 29th, allowing you to download the full game ahead of its early access release on October 1st and full launch on October 6th.
The install will become available on September 29th at 8am PT / 11am ET / 4pm BST.
"Pre-install for Gears of War: E-Day begins September 29 at 8am Pacific Time (15:00 UTC) on XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, and Steam. Whether you’re joining through Game Pass or have pre-ordered, pre-installing ahead of time ensures you’re ready to deploy when Early Access begins on October 1 at 8am Pacific (15:00 UTC), or at worldwide launch October 6 at 8am Pacific (15:00 UTC)."
The Coalition says that going gold is an important milestone for the game, although we assume the team is still busy getting it ready with all kinds of polish, tweaks, and other improvements that will be added between now and launch.
They've also shared the complete PC specifications today, so if you're planning on spending most of your time with the PC version (and don't forget it supports Xbox Play Anywhere), we'll leave those specs for you down below.
Not long to go at all now - Premium and Premium Upgrade owners will be playing in exactly two weeks!
