Gears of War: Reloaded – The Ultimate Remastered Return, August 26

Get ready, on August 26, 2025, Gears of War: Reloaded charges back onto screens with a full throttle remaster of the iconic original. Developed by The Coalition alongside Sumo Digital and Disbelief, and published by Xbox Game Studios, this is not just a remaster, it’s a triumphant revival of the 2006 classic tailored for a brand-new generation.

This marks the first major entry of Gears of War onto PlayStation, joining platforms like Xbox Series X|S, Windows (via Steam or Microsoft Store), and Cloud Gaming.

From the start, players can expect jaw-dropping presentation: 4K resolution, HDR, VRR, spatial audio, and zero loading screens during the campaign. Enjoy buttery-smooth gameplay with 60 FPS in campaign, and up to 120 FPS in multiplayer, all wrapped in remastered textures, lighting, shadows, and reflections.

Not just a graphical overhaul, this is the most complete version of the experience yet. All previously released DLCs, bonus campaign acts, multiplayer maps, modes, and cosmetic unlockables are part of the package right from launch.

Thanks to cross-play and cross-progression, you can squad up with friends across platforms, so your progress in campaign and multiplayer travels with you, no matter where you play. And speaking of friends, co-op in split-screen and up to 8-player versus multiplayer means the “brotherhood” is fully supported.

If you already own the digital Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, get ready for a pleasant surprise: you get Reloaded for free. And yes, it arrives day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, so subscribers can launch straight into the action without delay.
