Unable to download Gears 1 & 3 using the codes

on 13/10/2016 I got the game gears of war 4, and along with it comes the codes to access the previous games, but the code to gears of war 1 and 3 am unable to use, are not valid.

Update: I just received my two codes for Gears 3 and Judgment, and of course, was unable to download Gears 3 but was able to download Judgment. Seems to me that region lock is not the issue.

Scooby288, StreetSoldier72:

The Xbox One S console comes with a download code for Gears 4, which should give you the online messages download codes for Gears 1-3.

The fine print on the console says that "to qualify [for Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 and Gears of War: Judgment] purchase and play Gears of War 4 on Xbox Live by 31 December 2016. Must be 17+" -- Have you played Gears 4 on Xbox Live yet?


If you still don't have any codes, you'll want to talk to Xbox Support. They can be reached at

I purchased the Gears of War Ultimate Edition, and had no problem downloading Gears, Gears 3, or the prequel. However, I am unable to pull up anything for Gears 2 to download onto my console. I contacted Xbox customer service and they directed me here saying
that there was another code that I may require.

This seems no longer to be true.

Games purchased from other regions will play if physical disk, but any connected download codes will not work.

There are issues for example with the Gears of War 1-3 codes (included with Gears of War collection) and the Fallout 3 codes (that came with Fallout 4).
