The new game, a remaster of the 2006 original, will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game’s developer, The Coalition, has released specific launch times for the game, which was initially developed by Epic Games and released exclusively for the Xbox console. The prequel to this game, Gears of War: E-Day, is also scheduled to launch next year, making it an ideal time for fans and newcomers to revisit the series’ origins. Here are all the details:
Gears of War Reloaded : Price, availability and how to install
Gears of War: Reloaded is priced at $39.99 on the Microsoft Store. Apart from this, the game is also available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, PlayStation 5 and Steam. Players who purchased the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition before May 5 will receive Gears of War: Reloaded as a free upgrade.
For Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers, the remaster is available in the Game Pass library at no additional cost. Users who want to install the new Gears of War: Reloaded must remember that the game requires 68.75 GB on Xbox, 63.1 GB on PS5, and 70 GB on Steam.
In a blog post, the game’s developer claims that in Gears of War: Reloaded, every element of the original game, from art and audio to cinematics, has been updated to meet modern standards.
The remastered version offers 4K visuals, upgraded assets and textures, a 60 FPS campaign with fast load times, and multiplayer support at up to 120 FPS. It’s designed to deliver a fresh experience, whether players are revisiting the series or diving in for the first time.
The game also introduces broad cross-play support, allowing Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam players to team up seamlessly. Campaign co-op supports two players, while Versus Multiplayer allows up to eight participants, provided each player is signed in with a Microsoft account.
Linking a Microsoft account also enables cross-progression, ensuring that campaign and multiplayer progress carries over across devices. Players can send invites and play with friends across platforms — such as Xbox to PlayStation or Steam to Xbox — for a unified experience.
