Gears 5 is off to a strong start, seeing over 3 million players in its first weekend, according to Microsoft.

The third-person shooter debuted on September 6 for Xbox One and PC. Of course, 3 million players does not mean 3 million sold. Gears 5 is available on Xbox Game Pass, so many people were able to access the game through the subscription service. Console exclusives like Gears 5 could help increase subscriber numbers.
