Sydney, Australia \u2013 27th<\/sup> May, 2010<\/strong> \u2013 Starting today, Title Update 6 gives a new reason for \u201cGears of War\u201d fans to load up their Lancers and rev their chainsaws.\u00a0 The title update, available now on Xbox LIVE, introduces a new public multiplayer match feature called Social Matches that allows you to jump in and out of games without disruptions, including Horde mode matches.\u00a0 Social matchmaking also lets your party join a match already in progress or start a new match if there are no suitable matches to be found.<\/p>\n

Social matching is open to anyone who owns all four downloadable map packs, available as a single download by purchasing the \u201cAll Fronts Collection\u201d, now at the new discounted price of 800 Microsoft Points or bundled free with the \u201cGears of War 2: Game of the Year Edition\u201d for $59.95RRP*.\u00a0 Those looking for specific map packs to round out their collection will also find individual map packs on Xbox LIVE Marketplace at a new lower price as well.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the new title update, Epic and Microsoft have also announced a Triple Experience Weekend on Xbox LIVE. Starting tonight, Thursday, May 27, at 11:00 PM AEST, fans can earn triple experience in any \u201cGears of War 2\u201d multiplayer mode on Xbox LIVE. The Triple XP weekend will run until Tuesday, June 1 at 11:00 PM AEST.<\/p>\n
