Gears 5 is the latest installment in the famous Gears of War franchise. It is developed by The Coalition and published by Xbox Game Studios.

Naturally, the title is available only on Windows and Xbox consoles. Gears of War 5 is a third-person shooter that features a single-player campaign along with a multiplayer game mode.

The story takes place right after the events of Gears of War 4. It is regularly updated with new content, thanks to Xbox Game Studios and The Coalition.

Like all other modern titles, Gears of War also suffers from bugs and issues. Having said that, users are reporting an issue with the game.

According to reports, Gears of War players are affected by a bug that is preventing Island Glow Green skins from granting. The issue happens after completing the challenges.

However, the game is rewarding players with coins. The event started on August 31 and will last till September 6.
