Gears Of War: Reloaded Remaster Coming This August To Xbox, PlayStation, and PC

The classic game Gears of War is getting a facelift! Microsoft has confirmed that they will be releasing Gears of War: Reloaded on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Steam. This release will be available on Game Pass the same day for Ultimate subscribers. This is not the first remastered game from Microsoft; they’ve already had a successful launch with Oblivion Remastered in April.

On August 26th, you can grab “Gears of War: Reloaded” for $40, or stream it through Xbox Cloud Gaming. This game is compatible with cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms. If you’ve already got the digital version of “Gears of War: Ultimate Edition”, you’ll receive “Reloaded” free of charge!

The updated version boasts 4K resolution capabilities, a smooth 120 frames per second performance, and multiplayer functionality; making it the ultimate method for immersing oneself in the original game, as stated by Microsoft.

Microsoft is looking forward as they get closer to the 20th anniversary of Gears of War in 2026. They are taking a moment to consider the significance of this franchise for us all. It represents the tales we’ve shared, the bonds we’ve formed, and the incredible experiences we’ve had together. With Gears of War: Reloaded, they aim to invite even more players into our community.

The “Re-Loaded” collection encompasses all content from the 2015 release of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, which was a remastered version of the original 2006 Gears of War game. This comprehensive package contains the primary game along with every additional post-release expansion. These expansions offer a variety of multiplayer maps and modes, characters, and cosmetic items for customization.

Reloaded allows for both local split-screen and online play with two players teaming up for the campaign mode. Additionally, it supports up to eight players in multiplayer. While a Microsoft account isn’t necessary to start playing, you will need one to access “complete cross-platform functionality,” including cross-progression features.
