In the United Kingdom, Gears 5 fares a little better at 45th place, just behind Fallout 4. In terms of the greater Xbox ecosystem, within the United States Gears 5 barely makes the list of most played games, squeaking in at 50th place, lower than older titles such as Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Skate 3, DayZ and Halo 5: Guardians. However, Steam is but one platform for the game.

However, compared to its Xbox cousins Sea of Thieves (52,916 player monthly peak), Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition (37,635 player monthly peak), Halo: The Master Chief Collection (17,114 player monthly peak) and Microsoft Flight Simulator (12,086 player monthly peak), it leaves a decent bit to be desired. Now, compared to titles such as Marvel’s Avengers (1,482 player monthly peak) and Grounded (1,864 player monthly peak), this number is not too bad. According to Steamcharts, it is estimated a peak of 2,780 players jumped into Gears 5 concurrently on Steam over the last 30 days, which for a month that included the launch of a major expansion, as well as a price drop on the winter sale, isn’t particularly great. Flash forward to today, however, and the numbers for Gears 5 seemed to have slowed considerably. In terms of sales, Gears 5 was Xbox’s biggest launch of the generation, beating out juggernauts Sea of Thieves and Halo 5, and served as a major release for the Game Pass platform. Gears 5 was for the most part a critical success, earning an 84 on Metacritic from critics as well as an 8.2/10 from audience members on the site.
