Microsoft is getting ready for the launch of Gears 5 with a new custom Xbox One X console and controller. Plus there is also a limited edition console which features the Omen Gears of War symbol frozen under ice and snow.
Gears developer The Coalition designed the Limited Edition Xbox One X in partnership with the Xbox Industrial Design Team. The console features an icy and snowy design. It uses a translucent casing to give the sense that the Locust symbol is buried under a frozen surface.
The limited edition console will include 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.
