Originally the wording was that only digital owners of Gears Ult Edition on Xbox would get the promo.

I only purchased "Ultimate Edition for Windows 10" (separate sku and not Play Anywhere as it pre-dated the program) back in the day at release and I've had my code.

My retarded friend only had the disc version and has received a code.

I thought it was a fluke but comments online are confirming this so keep an eye on your Xbox Live Messages

 

[Darsxx82]

If so

 

[AJUMP23]

Cool.

 

[Punished Miku]

Yep, got mine. Pretty cool. I'm not expecting a big change but nice to get.

I just went through Gears 1-4 recently, so I need to make time for part 5.

Congrats on the new tag mate

Congrats on the new tag mate

Thanks bro. Enjoy it while it lasts. I change tags like I change my boxers; once every 2 years.

 

[U n i o n 0015]

Got one myself.

 

[PendekarRajawali]

Got the massage, thanks.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Got the massage, thanks.

No prob mate, come back next time and I'll do it again but with a happy ending

 

[DAHGAMING]

Have I been mugged off ?

I have Gears Ult on Xbox digital but I havnt got any message yet. Either way im upset, I thought I ment alot to Phil and friends so much that when they decided to send these codes out he would personaly send me it.

 

[Sanepar]

I have a digital copy and didn't receive the code

give it some time mate, Phil probably still on a coke fueled Vampire Survivors session. Once he has his comedown he'll DM you that code

Thank you for your sacrifice.

 

[Kvally]

Just checked my Xbox Live Messages. I have a $1.25 Xbox Reward card available.

 

[dragonyeuw]

Can a 360 trilogy+ Judgement owner at least get a discount?

 

[Xion4360]

I don't even own GOWUE and I got a code...

 

[PendekarRajawali]

No prob mate, come back next time and I'll do it again but with a happy ending

 

[OverHeat]

725 games…got ultimate on Xbox and no code fuck u MS

 

[RagnarokIV]

I'm assuming the codes are going out in batches.

 

[Antwix]

I was kinda annoyed when they announced they'd be giving away codes for digital owners. Got my code when I only own the physical version. How nice of them!

 

[Punished Miku]

I'm assuming the codes are going out in batches.

Important people first. Everyone else coming up soon.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I didn't get a code...

 

[DavJay]

How would they know I own the physical copy?

 

[diffusionx]

Confirmed, bought the game physically and I got a code.

Too bad I can't redeem on PS5.

 

[DavJay]

Update: got the code too but the email just says thanks for being a gears fan. Never had UE but played Gears 5 for 800 hours if that matters

 

[Antwix]

How would they know I own the physical copy?

Maybe they're checking if you played it during the launch window? Who knows, but I just checked my disc/case and I have a digital code inside in the case for some DLC skins so maybe that's part of it too.

 

[Magic Carpet]

How do you get notification of a code? Email I might have deleted it as usual ads.

Xbox messages

 

[splattered]

I got a code too, maybe it's more tied to playtime of the series?

Xbox messages

I'm trying to open up the XBox app on my iPhone. The service appears to be down right now.

Just a reminder to me how much Xbox mobile suuuuuux.

edit-oops it seems the app wasn't set to use cellular. My bad. Also No code.

 

[Dazraell]

I just got a code too. I bought UE on PC a few months ago on a deep sale

 

[.hacked]

I got a code, wasn't there last night but just checked and got a code today.

 

[Marcinkowski]

I have GOW Ultimate Digital on Xbox and pc, and a Physical copy on xbox one.

cool if i get a code for every copy bought

 

[xVodevil]

Oh wow how nice, too bad I'm not going anywhere near any MS store game even for free.

 

[RagnarokIV]

I'm sorry mate, I'll give you a wide berth at the bar next time. Don't want any trouble fella

 

[Nydius]

Holding on to the disk version all these years might actually pay off? Didn't see that coming. No code yet but I'll probably be in the Batch of Least Important People.

 

[flying_sq]

Amazon gave codes away a month or so ago for the ultimate edition. If anyone wants this version for free, might want to check Amazon games to see if it is still available

 

[Rush2112]

I had Gears 1 on MS store for years. After the upgrade, they said I didn't. Just like that.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Where do you get the code? I had a notification but can't find it lol.

 

[Punished Miku]

Where do you get the code? I had a notification but can't find it lol.

Its in messages.

 

[Durin]

Got mine in messages, pretty cool. I just want them to get to a Gears 3 remaster more than anything.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Cheers lads, forgot all about the xbox app lol.

 

[ReBurn]

I got a code for this in the Xbox app and I don't own the ultimate edition. I do own the BC 360 games, though. I wasn't planning on playing this right away but I guess I will.

 

[Thebonehead]

My ring doorbell picked up some shady character outside my door in the middle of the night.

Turns out it was just Phil Spencer hand-delivering my code.

What a guy.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

I haven't touched a Gears game for probably ten years, but I noticed the talk about this promo online and so installed the Xbox app for the hell of it.

Thanks MS. I think I only ever played a couple of hours of UE back in the day, but I can't remember where as it isn't in my library. Maybe they went off my ancient gamerscore or something, where the first three games in the series were as finished on the 360.

Either way, I ain't complaining

 

[Goalus]

Important people first. Everyone else coming up soon.

That's my assumption too. I already got my code.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Even though I played these games on the 360, it still let me apply the code on my PC.

Sony could learn a thing or two from MS.

 

[spartan30gr]

I get a code to
Kudos to microsoft for that

 

[Badlucktroll]

i got the code but wish this was out now instead of two fucking months from now

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

Oh wow how nice, too bad I'm not going anywhere near any MS store game even for free.
