‘Gears of War: Judgment season pass announced, free with pre-order from Microsoft Store

Gears of War: Judgment comes out March 16, and in preparation, Microsoft and People Can Fly have announced a season pass for the title. For 1600 Microsoft Points ($20), you’ll get access to six multiplayer maps, two new modes, nine exclusive unlocks, and permanent double XP. Microsoft says that this will save players 20 percent over purchasing the content separately.

The Microsoft Store has been running a deal during the last couple of months which gives those who preorder 1600 Microsoft Points for free. Therefore, those who purchase the title from the outlet are theoretically getting the season pass for free. It’s a great deal, and if you’re a fan of the series, you should certainly take advantage of the situation.

The VIP Season Pass, as it’s called includes:

Two upcoming Game Add-on Packs that include six multiplayer maps, two new modes, and new weapon and armor skins
Early access to Game Add-on multiplayer maps so you can be the first to play
A permanent double XP boost to accelerate your ascent through the ranks
Five exclusive weapon skins and four exclusive armor skins

Will you be capitalizing on this deal? Let us know!
