With all of its updates and extra content, the file size for Gears of War 4 grew to more than 120GB over time. For Gears 5, developer The Coalition is promising the "biggest and most extensive" post-launch support in Gears history with more maps and new features, so you can expect Gears 5's file size to grow substantially over time as well.

Gears 5 officially launches on September 10, but people who buy the Ultimate edition or subscribe to Xbox Game Pass can start playing on September 6. For lots more on the game, check out GameSpot's rundown of the Gears 5 server start times, launch maps, and more.
