One of Microsoft`s next big exclusive, Gears 5, launches in September for Xbox One and PC, and its release date is just ahead of the release of Project Scarlett in Holiday 2020. Gears 5 will presumably play on Scarlett given the console supports all Xbox One games, but developer The Coalition isn`t ready to talk about its plans yet.The Coalition boss Rod Fergusson told IGN that he and the team are `really focused` on launching Gears 5 on the existing Xbox consoles. Given that The Coalition is owned by Microsoft, you can connect the dots and imagine that Gears 5 will also support Scarlett, but Microsoft isn`t ready to make any announcements yet.`Really focused on Gears 5 right now on what we have now in terms of Xbox One X and One S and One Regular. The Xbox One family of devices [in ad sales guy voice],` he said. `That`s what we`re really focused on right now. I think there`s stuff, as first-party, you could probably make some suppositions about what we would and not do but I think it`s too early to talk about that now.`In June during E3, Xbox boss Jason Ronald confirmed that `thousands` of games from all four generations of Xbox will be playable on Project Scarlett.In other news, another high-profile first-party Microsoft game, Halo Infinite, is releasing in Holiday 2020 as a launch title for Scarlett. That game will also play on all Xbox One models, as well as PC.Gears 5 launches on September 10, but those who buy the Ultimate Edition can play beginning September 6. Additionally, all Xbox Game Pass members get the game at no extra cost.
