The iconic Gears of War series is being revitalized with a remastered edition titled Gears of War: Reloaded. This updated version will be available on August 26, 2025, for just $40, accessible on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and Steam, and it will be included on day one with Xbox Game Pass.
Gears of War: Reloaded features crossplay and the ability to transfer your progress across all platforms. Fans who already own the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will receive a complimentary upgrade to the remastered edition. This classic third-person shooter will support stunning 4K resolution, 120 FPS, and cross-platform multiplayer matches. Additional enhancements include HDR and variable refresh rates, ensuring a streamlined experience with no loading screens throughout the campaign. The graphics have been upgraded to fully leverage current gaming hardware, providing a fresh visual experience.
If you’d prefer not to tackle the Locust Horde solo, Gears of War: Reloaded offers a two-player co-op for the campaign. Multiplayer can accommodate up to eight players simultaneously, and no Microsoft account is required to join. However, for those who do have one, linking it allows you to maintain your progress in both campaign and multiplayer modes across different platforms.

The Coalition has collaborated with Sumo Interactive and Disbelief to create this definitive version of the franchise leading up to Gears of War: Judgment. If you haven’t yet explored this captivating post-apocalyptic shooter, now is a perfect time. The game masterfully combines an engaging sci-fi narrative with exhilarating gameplay, and few multiplayer experiences rival the thrill of dispatching foes with the iconic Lancer.
