    Gears of War Ultimate Edition, free games activation problems


    Dear Microsoft Team,

    I've made a late discovery of the GoW Ultimate Edition, that after i bought it i could not activate the free Xbox 360 versions of GoW 2, GoW 3 and GoW Judgement.

    I found out that this was only able to activate between August and December 2015,
    after i did research myself on the internet after i couldn't find a way to activate these games in any way possible. The game's description did NOT mention these dates on the downloadable versions for Xbox anywhere.

    I know this is in some way my fault for not educating myself properly before i buy something.

    The biggest problem in all of this by far, is that there is no additional way to buy or download these extra games, since the Xbox Game Store states that these are only part of a bundle and not purchaseable, then redirects you to the GoW Ultimate Edition bundle...

    However, i did contact customer support via Live Chat. They offered me this forum as a last resort to maybe find a way to solve this.

    This is apart from the second problem that Worms Battlegrounds (which is my permanently activated game from my Xbox Live Gold subscription) can't be played anymore after Xbox Live Gold expired this January/Februari, because you need access to Xbox Live Gold
    in order to gain your stored data... Which is a different way of saying: "you own your game, but can't play it untill you continuously pay for Xbox Live Gold"

    PS: GoW Ultimate Edition was activated with a code, so only shows up on my account under my entitlements or something, not under my billing.

    :)

  2. GoW codes after activation (>2 weeks now) and Is GoW 1 Ultimate Edition?

    2 Questions:

    1) When will we get GoW codes after activation? I was told 7-10 days by Microsoft Support team.

    2) Is the Gears of Wars 1 that is downloaded after GoW4 activation the Ultimate Edition. ie. Is the GoW1 you get the Ultimate Edition?

    Thank you,

    MM

    Hello

    You needed to have played Gears of War: UE between the dates mentioned before in order to receive a redeemable code for the other Gears of War titles. If you have played between those dates and did not receive the codes then you can create a post here

    You can still purchase the other games which came with the bundle separately if you wish to do so

    Gears of War

    Gears of War 2

    Gears of war 3

    Gears of War Judgement

    Please not that the above storelinks are for the US marketplace

    Gears of War ultimate edition missing promotional codes

    The ultimate edition is just gears of war ultimate edition

    It wasn't a bunddle

    The bundle you are talking about is the console and ultimate gears of war 1 that's it

    Only games advertised as a collection or some other term ultimate is just referring to the gears reboot
