This runs incredibly well on the SD. EAC works, smooth 60 fps with minimal drops on recommended settings. Game freezes on exit, but that's a non issue to me. Didn't expect that from Microsoft lol
That's amazing! Does multiplayer works too?
I wonder what's the Microsoft plan, first Halo now Gears it looks like they care about Steam Deck but why?
Good question about MP, I just tested it on the SD but no luck unfortunately: GoW services not available. At least EAC loads correctly on startup, so it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
I tried it on my Arch Linux machine and multiplayer did not work. I would assume its the same on the Steam Deck. Seems like they didn't get EAC working yet.

Great way to increase sales for old games with minimal effort.
I remember playing hours and hours and hours of Gears 1 way back in the day. One of my favorite games of all time. I'll have to give Gears another try now!
It's a good one, especially in co-op mode.
Nice! Not my style of game, but I’m always happy to see older games getting some love
God I want a gears collection on PC never played them through in my Xbox days. But I really want to know. I really thought one was coming at there showcase a couple weeks back but my hopium is back since they have another one in July apparently.
We got a single remake, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft were finishing the rest to release as a collection like MCC.
