A multi-weekend multiplayer beta for the Gears of War remake has been officially announced for this month, with the first test beginning this weekend.

The details:

With the release of a new trailer, Xbox has confirmed that Gears of War: Reloaded’s first beta test will begin on Friday, June 13, and last until June 15 for Game Pass subscribers, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition owners, and those who pre-ordered Reloaded. This will be followed by a second weekend running from June 20 to June 22.
The first beta will feature a standard Team Deathmatch mode with its map pool consisting of Gridlock, Raven Down, and Gold Rush. Meanwhile, the second weekend will bring a new King of the Hill mode to the Canals map, as well as War Machine and Courtyard for Team Deathmatch, in addition to the returning maps.
Both weekends will be available on all platforms, including the Xbox Series X/S, PC, and, for the first time in franchise history, the PlayStation 5. Those who pre-order the game or subscribe to Game Pass will also get the Adam Fenix and Anya Stroud multiplayer skins.
