Microsoft has officially announced the launch of Gears of War: Reloaded, a remastered version of the iconic shooter game that was released back in 2006. The game will be released on August 26, 2025, for $39.99 and will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Steam, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Xbox PC. Gears of War: Reloaded is being developed by The Coalition in partnership with Sumo Interactive and Disbelief.
What makes Gears of War: Reloaded even more exciting is its cross-platform support. Players can team up or compete online with friends regardless of the platform they use. A Microsoft account isn’t required, but logging in with one unlocks cross-progression.
