🎮 Wait, Gears of War on PlayStation 5? Yep, It’s Finally Happening!
Gears of War: Reloaded Is Coming—Here’s What You Need to Know
Say hello to Gears of War: Reloaded, a remastered version of the original 2006 classic. This updated take is set to launch on August 26, and it’s dropping simultaneously on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. No early-access nonsense, no timed exclusives—just full-on launch day unity.
Bye Bye Xbox Exclusivity
Let’s be real—Gears of War being locked to Xbox was a huge deal for years. But now, Microsoft is opening the gates and letting one of its most iconic franchises live on other platforms. And they’re not being shy about it either: the PS5 version was confirmed the same day as the Xbox and PC versions.
This shift mirrors Microsoft’s recent multiplatform moves and honestly? We’re all for it.
What’s New in the Remaster?
This isn’t just a visual touch-up. Gears of War: Reloaded brings:
-
Full 4K resolution
-
Blazing 120 FPS
-
Cross-play multiplayer (yep, Xbox vs. PS5 battles incoming)
-
Cross-progression (swap between systems anytime)
-
Every bit of DLC and post-launch content included
Oh, and did we mention the price? Just $39.99. Even better, it’s free if you already own the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition digitally. No sneaky microtransactions or price hikes here.
What About the Next New Gears Game?
Still holding out for the next-gen Gears experience? That’s Gears of War: E-Day, but don’t get too hyped just yet. There's no confirmed release date, and it looks like those 2025 rumors are off the mark. Right now, it's only coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC—but if Reloaded does well, who knows? PS5 could be next.
