Gears 5 is the latest in the hugely popular Gears of War franchise. Microsoft has announced a limited-edition customer Xbox One X with the Omen Gears of War symbol frozen in ice and snow stamped on the front. There’s no doubt the console looks cool and it is also something of a unique release. It is the first limited edition Xbox One X Microsoft has ever produced. The company says the console was designed by “The Coalition” team and it available for pre-order today. Gears 5 will launch this month and the $499 limited edition console will arrive before the game lands.
While that is a little expensive, the console comes with download codes for Gears 5 Ultimate Edition, Gears of War Ultimate Edition, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3, and Gears of War 4. If you are a Gears fan that is an amazing bundle.
Accessories
Furthermore, there is also a new Gears 5 Xbox One controller. The gamepad features the same icy design and also textured grips. Microsoft says the controller is available separately and will launch on Aug. 20 for $74.99. Microsoft has also teamed with partners for Gear 5 themed accessories. Among them is a $49.99 charging stand for the controller. Elsewhere Razer has created a themed mouse and keyboard set that will cost a cool $299.99. Other peripherals include a Gear 5 2TB hard drive built by Seagate.
