Microsoft has made a significant announcement regarding its iconic gaming franchise, Gears of War. The company revealed that Gears of War: Reloaded, a remastered version of the original game, will be available on multiple platforms, including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, starting August 26, 2025. This enhanced edition promises to deliver an immersive gaming experience with support for 4K resolution, 120 frames per second, and cross-play capabilities across all platforms. Players can now wishlist the game on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam storefronts.
Details of Gears of War: Reloaded
Gears of War: Reloaded is being touted as the โdefinitive wayโ to experience the beloved franchise, especially as it approaches its 20th anniversary in 2026. Developed by The Coalition in collaboration with Sumo Digital and Disbelief, this remaster will include all content from Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, which was released in 2015. The new version is modernized for current-generation consoles, featuring enhanced graphics, improved audio, and remastered textures. Players can expect a campaign running at 60 frames per second and multiplayer gameplay at an impressive 120 frames per second.
The Coalition’s studio head, Mike Crump, emphasized the significance of this remaster, stating that it celebrates one of gaming’s most iconic franchises. The game will offer a comprehensive multiplayer experience, including cross-progression and cross-play, allowing players to connect regardless of their platform. This marks a notable shift for Microsoft, as it continues to expand its reach beyond Xbox consoles.
Cross-Platform Availability
Gears of War: Reloaded will be available on PlayStation for the first time, following a trend of Microsoftโs exclusive titles becoming accessible on other platforms. This move aligns with the companyโs revised launch strategy, which has seen other franchises like Forza Horizon and Age of Empires make their way to the PS5. Additionally, Bethesda’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle recently launched on PlayStation after debuting on Xbox Series S/X and PC. The trend continues with Doom: The Dark Ages, which is set to release simultaneously on PS5, PC, and Xbox later this month.
This multiplatform approach is part of Microsoft’s broader strategy to enhance player accessibility and engagement. Gears of War: Reloaded will also be available through Xbox Cloud Gaming and Game Pass, further expanding its reach to gamers who prefer cloud-based services.
Game Features and Enhancements
Microsoft has labeled Gears of War: Reloaded as the โmost complete version of the original game to date.โ Players who purchase the remaster will receive all post-launch downloadable content (DLC) for free, which includes a bonus campaign act, all multiplayer maps and modes, and a full roster of classic characters and cosmetics. The game will support two-player co-op in the campaign mode and accommodate up to eight players in multiplayer matches.
The enhancements in Gears of War: Reloaded are extensive. Players can look forward to 4K resolution, up to 120 frames per second performance, high dynamic range (HDR), variable refresh rate (VRR), and spatial audio support. Additionally, the game will feature improved post-processing effects, shadows, and reflections, along with the elimination of loading screens during the campaign. With a price set at $39.99, Gears of War: Reloaded is now available for wishlisting across supported storefronts, generating excitement among fans eager to revisit this classic title in a modernized format.
