This means you can buy an Xbox One game and switch to a PC very quickly, allowing you to choose how and where you want to enjoy the story. Open the Windows Store app and search for Gears of War 4.  
  • Several publications will be presented. The Ultimate Edition gives you a few days of early access, so don’t worry if you can’t afford that right now. However, both versions provide you with access to Play Anywhere features.    
  • If you haven’t bought it yet, go ahead and do so. If you have purchased it, click the “Install” button and select the drive you want to install it on.    
  • After the game is installed, it remains only to wait for the release. When the game releases on October 7th for Ultimate Edition users or October 11th for regular users, you will be able to download the Windows Store and play without problems.
