Those who purchased a copy of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition were supposed to receive their beta codes for the game sometime yesterday afternoon.
While most users have received their beta key to participate in the exclusive beta, many were left without keys, leading to frustration on social media and related message boards.
Community Manager, Adam Fletcher took to the official Gears of War forums last night to post an update regarding the issues: “Microsoft Operations had an issue this morning with their code drop and unfortunately the codes will not be distributed in chronological order as originally messaged. We will be doing another code drop this evening to help address some of the issues. As noted before, codes will be going out in waves as we ramp up our servers through the beta.” he continues, “Starting tomorrow morning (pacific time), we will be sending out a higher volume of codes to help compensate for this change and due to server stability seen during Day 1 of our beta. This change and volume will carry on through Wednesday and Thursday morning (pacific time) which will cover off on everyone for early access.”
The Gears of War 4 beta is running until May 1st, and will open up to all Xbox Live members starting on April 25th, 2016.
