With the E3 video having already done the rounds on YouTube, the news hardly came as a massive surprise – but PC gamers will still be pleased to hear that Epic’s hugely successful Xbox 360 shooter will be making its way to their machines under the Games for Windows brand.

The game will feature five new campaign chapters, new multiplayer content and a game editor. It will also be DirectX compatible.

Microsoft’s Peter Moore also confirmed that Games for Windows Live is set to be integrated into Epic’s highly popular Unreal Engine 3 – a move that could well give the service a significant boost.

Gears of War is due out on PC this Christmas.
