With Gears 5 set to release this fall, The Coalition is gearing up for a massive technical test this month. If you’re interested in taking part in the Gears 5 tech test, then you’ll find all the information you need to know to join the Gears 5 tech test on Xbox One and PC below.

How to join the Gears 5 tech test on Xbox One and PC

Those looking to take advantage of the upcoming Gears 5 tech test can join a couple of ways depending on which platform you’ll be playing on. We’ve broken down the steps below, which should make the process much easier to complete.

To join the Gears 5 tech test on Xbox One, players will need to have joined up with the Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. This will give them instant access to the tech test when it goes live in July. If you aren’t a Game Pass member, then you can also preorder the game digitally through the Xbox Store, or via any of the retail stores that have it available. If you preorder it in a physical store, you should receive a code that you can then enter into the Xbox Store to gain access to the tech test when it launches next month.

If you want to join the Gears 5 tech test on Windows 10 PC, you’ll have two options. First, you can subscribe to the Xbox Game Pass or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for PC. This will give you access to the test with your membership, so just keep it active until after the tech test passes. If you don’t want to subscribe to Xbox Game Pass for PC, then you can preorder Gears 5 through the Windows Store to gain access to the technical test as well.

Now that you know how to join the Gears 5 tech test when it launches later this month, be sure you know how to download the Gears 5 tech test, too. You can also follow Shacknews on Twitter for more of the latest news and guides right on your timeline.
