It has been a while since I've played it, I'm downloading it again now on my Deck, I was wondering if anyone else saw this and could tell me how it runs? Is it playable?

We got a single remake, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft were finishing the rest to release as a collection like MCC.

This runs incredibly well on the SD. EAC works, smooth 60 fps with minimal drops on recommended settings. Game freezes on exit, but that's a non issue to me. Didn't expect that from Microsoft lol

That's amazing! Does multiplayer works too?

I wonder what's the Microsoft plan, first Halo now Gears it looks like they care about Steam Deck but why?

Good question about MP, I just tested it on the SD but no luck unfortunately: GoW services not available. At least EAC loads correctly on startup, so it shouldn't be too hard to fix.

I tried it on my Arch Linux machine and multiplayer did not work. I would assume its the same on the Steam Deck. Seems like they didn't get EAC working yet.

Great way to increase sales for old games with minimal effort.

Kinda surprised M$ would put in the effort for steam deck, but stranger things have happened ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I remember playing hours and hours and hours of Gears 1 way back in the day. One of my favorite games of all time. I'll have to give Gears another try now!

It's a good one, especially in co-op mode.

Nice! Not my style of game, but I’m always happy to see older games getting some love
