NEWS Microsoft Responds to Gears of War 4 Server Issues

It can be frustrating for gamers when servers go down for their favorite games, especially when there are special events going on. Such was the case this weekend, when Gears of War 4’s servers experienced significant downtime, leading many players to miss out on opportunities to play and earn unique rewards.


In response to the Gears of War 4 server issues, Microsoft has issued a response via the Gears of War Facebook page, letting players know it is actively working on the issues, and is extending some services for the game so those who missed out over the weekend can still get a chance to participate.

In addition to extending the services, Microsoft is also providing a double XP weekend from Friday, January 20th, through Sunday, January 22nd. Based on the information provided in the post, it looks like the double XP weekend will be available to anyone who plays the highly-praised Gears of War 4 this coming weekend, not just those who experienced server issues this past weekend.

As for Credit and Progressions rewards, players will need to check back in the game throughout the week for information regarding that fix.
