Gears 5, the next entry in the long-running Gears of War franchise, is nearly upon us, and you can now get in on the hype by adding a bit of Gears flavor to your desktop. Microsoft has released a new Gears 5 wallpaper pack on the Microsoft Store, and it’s filled with stylized depictions of the game’s characters in glorious 4K.

To design the art used in the wallpapers, Microsoft tapped artist Luke Preece for his particular style. From the description:
