Gears of War: Reloaded Arrives Summer 2025 on PS5, Xbox, and PC
Massive news for shooter fans. Original classic Gears of War is coming back in style this summer as Gears of War: Reloaded. And the best part. Not only is it launching on Xbox Series X|S and PC – it's officially coming to PlayStation 5, the first time the classic cover-shooter franchise is landing on Sony's console.
What's Included in Reloaded?
Developed by the pros at The Coalition, in partnership with Sumo Interactive and Disbelief, this isn't a direct port. Reloaded is intended to be the definitive version of the game that started it all. You're getting everything:
- The full original campaign, including the extra act from the Ultimate Edition.
- All DLC released after launch.
- Every multiplayer map and mode released.
- A full roster of classic characters and cosmetic rewards to unlock as you play.
Visuals and Performance Dialed Up
Prepare for a stunner on every platform. Reloaded is getting a massive facelift with:
- Stunning 4K resolution support.
- Slick 60 FPS gameplay in the campaign.
- Blazing hot 120 FPS gameplay in multiplayer modes.
- HDR and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support for supported displays.
- Enhanced visual effects, better shadows, and more detailed reflections.
- Super resolution techniques for sharper images and better anti-aliasing.
- Goodbye waiting. Zero loading screens in the Campaign.
Play Together, Anywhere
One of the most highly requested features is full cross-platform compatibility. No matter if you're on PC, PS5, or Xbox, you can play with or against your friends. Here's how it works:
- Sign in with a Microsoft account to enable full cross-progression (your progress saves across all platforms) and the ability to send invites directly to friends on other platforms.
- Even if you don't have a Microsoft account, you can still enjoy cross-platform multiplayer matchmaking.
Release Date and How to Obtain It
Mark your calendars. Gears of War: Reloaded blasts its way onto PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S on August 25th, 2025.
Good news for existing fans: If you already own Gears of War: Ultimate Edition (purchased before this announcement), you'll receive Reloaded as a free upgrade.
And of course, it's not an Xbox launch without Game Pass. Gears of War: Reloaded will be available day one for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members.
Get ready to see a classic reimagined. Whether you're a vet coming back or a rookie diving in for the first time (especially on PlayStation), Gears of War: Reloaded is shaping up to deliver an epic summer blockbuster.
