As announced by Microsoft during E3, the month of July is the one in which the multiplayer Versus (competitive) of Gears 5will be revealed, during the ELEAGUE Invitational event on 13 and 14, but also when we can try it with our hands in Versus Tech Test, a technical testing period in which all Xbox Game Pass subscribers and all those who have pre-ordered the game can participate.

Microsoft today released more details about the Versus Tech Test, announcing that the download will be available from July 17 while the actual game will be possible over two separate weekends:

• From July 19 (7:00 p.m. Italian time) July 21
• Since the beginning of July 26 (7:00 p.m. Italian time) to July 29

During these two periods we will be able to play Escalation modes (designed for eSports competitions), Arcade (a fast-paced new mode designed to be accessible to everyone) and King of the Hill, but the brand new mode will also be available bootcamp training and a short Tour of Duty, a series of consecutive challenges that players will face to unlock new content - in this case an exclusive Tech Test Banner.

Appointment then on July 17 for download and 19 for the first gaming sessions!
