Open-source launcher and static-recompilation PC ports for Xbox 360 Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 and Gears of War: Judgment, translating 360 code ahead-of-time to native Windows C++ with a custom D3D12/Vulkan renderer; no game files are included so owners set up their own copies via the launcher.

Relationship
Compatibility project

Evidence scope
Upstream README titles the project Gears of War Native, states the games are built by static recompilation, and that no game files are included or ever will be. No REA involvement is claimed.

Know before you try
GoW1 not a priority. Playability and feature claims are upstream’s. Separate single-title GoW2/GoW3 recomp repos exist; this is the series launcher + ports umbrella. We have not independently tested it.

Status
Active; README calls ports Fully Playable with known hiccups

License
MIT
No Microsoft / The Coalition / Epic game data redistributed — owners supply their own Xbox 360 copies (title updates recommended per README). Unofficial series umbrella.
