I got it on Gamepass, otherwise I'd have bought it on Steam.
You're crazy dude. Everyone under the sun has taken the $1 deal, its too good to miss. This is not 2004, pc gaming is huge nowdays and I would not be surprised if pc gears 5 players on game pass outnumber the xbox ones. All the popular streamers are playing the pc version.Gamepass on PC is far from stable compared to Steam, plus steam version requires Windows 7 as opposed to Windows 10 with the latest updates
PC Gamepass could be 1/10th of steam sales
Why buy it on steam when you can play it with 1$ for 1 month of gamepass? I have no proof but i would bet that numbers on gamepass are gonna be higher than 10k on steam.
Phil Spencer said Many times that game pass increase game sales, he is a professional liar.

Wait, Xbox gamers pay for a game subscription service on top of their online service? And they talk about how great it is?
Yikes
on pc u dont have to pay for gold but there was a deal like 2 euro's for a lot of months of ultimate game pass which gives you access to some new games like outer worlds coming soon
It’s free through game pass which isn’t steam.

Unless we know how much Gears sold on xbox and how many people have it on gamepass, this is all pointless speculation. For all we know maybe it's not doing great in the other platforms. However, it may be correct that the majority bulk of the people on pc got it through game pass, it makes sense, but I don't know how big the difference is. Additionally, like someone else mentioned, it could also mean that people are less willing to get in on pc because they haven't played through the first 4 games, which would actually be my case, I wouldn't even get it through game pass. There are only 8.4k people playing it on Twitch right now, and I am assuming that is across all platforms. This is not a perfect indicator, but I do think it usually provides a good sense of how popular a game is. Finally, the steam reviews are currently sitting on "mixed", which might be driving people away, kinda odd seeing that review aggregators have it around 8.5 and user reviews seem to indicate its a good solid game. Is there anything bad about the steam version? Like, does it require you to connect to some MS service or something? In the end, we can't know for sure until we have data to compare the steam version to the other ones.
Probably because it was never on PC up until it was remastered.Gears never was a hit on PC.
It’s not like gears 1-3. Tastes haven’t changed Microsoft changed gears.Well, they had a good run. Tastes change after almost 15 years

The hate for Microsoft on this site astounds me. Gears 5 is not a horrible game. I’ve not really been that much of a GOW fan, but this particular entry is damn good.
So...
I can’t be the only one who went 360 to PS4. If I walked away from MS this generation it would stand to reason that I’m waiting for a way to play gears4 without Microsoft. Like steam for example.
Until they do that I won’t be ready / interested to start in on gears5.
