Gears Tactics is coming to PC (and Xbox One later in the year) bringing turn-based strategy to the genre for the first time. Complete with a story that sees Gabe Diaz and his crew of COG members take on the Locust horde, and some incredibly compelling gameplay, there’s plenty reason to give this one your attention. Here’s what Gears Tactics preload and unlock times are.
