Gears of War: Reloaded Storms PlayStation, Xbox, and PC This August!
In a surprising move that's shaking up the gaming world, Gears of War, one of Xbox's flagship franchises, is making its long-awaited debut on PlayStation! Gears of War: Reloaded, a remastered edition of the original 2006 classic, is set to launch on August 26th for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
This announcement marks a significant shift in Microsoft's strategy, following the pattern of releasing more Xbox first-party titles on rival platforms. For PlayStation fans who have long admired the franchise from afar, this is a golden opportunity to finally experience the gritty, visceral world of Sera and its battle against the Locust Horde.
Gears of War: Reloaded isn't just a simple port; it's a complete overhaul designed to take full advantage of modern hardware. Expect stunning 4K resolution, silky-smooth 60 FPS in campaign mode and up to *120 FPS in multiplayer, along with HDR and Dolby Atmos support for truly immersive visuals and audio. Zero loading screen, enhanced post-processing visual effects ,improved shadows and reflections. The game also boasts cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms, creating a unified player base.
Content-wise, Reloaded includes everything from the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, the 2015 remaster. That means you'll get the complete base game, all post-launch DLC, the bonus campaign act, and a full roster of characters and cosmetics unlockable through progression. Players who already own the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will receive Reloaded as a free upgrade.
Microsoft describes Gears of War: Reloaded as "a celebration of one of gaming’s most iconic franchises," and emphasizes the definitive multiplayer experience with cross-progression and cross-play across all platforms. The game features both local split-screen and online multiplayer, but for the full cross-platform functionality a Microsoft account is required.
The game will be available for $39.99 and also on Game Pass at launch for Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. This generous offer makes it easier than ever before for new players to jump into the series and experience the intense, squad-based combat that made Gears of War a phenomenon.
With the upcoming prequel, Gears of War: E-Day, on the horizon, Gears of War: Reloaded serves as the perfect entry point for newcomers and a nostalgic trip for longtime fans. The title is developed by The Coalition, Sumo Interactive, and Disbelief.
