Unfortunately, reports are surfacing that players are having troubles connecting to the online servers. This isn’t to do with an overwhelming number of players trying to connect to the servers like other games have suffered from, however. It’s actually due to a title update and server-side updates rolling out.

This, as the tweet above from the official Gears of War Twitter account mentions, has caused some disruption to the servers. The best way to try and resolve this issue is to come out of the game and allow the update to be downloaded and applied. Once you’re all set, boot the game back up and try and jump back into the action. If you’re still having issues, it might be worth giving the servers a little bit of time to settle down again. Some players over on Reddit are suggesting it could be an issue arising from those with the update matchmaking with those who do not.

We’ll keep you updated if any more news arises on the matter.
