Gears of War: Reloaded arrives August 26, 2025, delivering a full remaster of the 2006 classic. For the first time, the franchise steps onto PlayStation, joining Xbox Series X|S and PC with cross-play, cross-progression, and a $39.99 price tag.

A remaster built for modern hardware

Reloaded is more than a visual upgrade. The campaign runs at 4K resolution and 60 FPS, while multiplayer hits up to 120 FPS. Expect improved textures, lighting, and zero loading screens between levels. It’s the most polished version of the original Gears yet.

All content included, no extras needed

Reloaded includes every piece of content from the Ultimate Edition. That means extended campaign chapters, all multiplayer maps and modes, and a lineup of iconic characters. Everything unlocks through gameplay progression—no microtransactions or premium packs.

Cross-platform play and progression

Reloaded supports two-player co-op in the campaign and up to eight players in multiplayer. Cross-play and cross-progression work seamlessly across Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

Gears of War expands its reach

This marks the first time a Gears title lands on a non-Xbox console. It reflects Microsoft’s broader cross-platform push—an effort to make its legacy games more accessible while E-Day remains in development.
