Upcoming remaster Gears of War: Reloaded might not have a physical release for Xbox Series X/S, as shown by early retail listings. Reloaded marks Gears' arrival on PlayStation, ending its long-standing console exclusivity with Xbox. In a strange turn, the Xbox property may only get physical releases on PS5 and PC.
According to a retail listing from GAME España, physical editions of Gears of War: Reloaded appear to only be available for PlayStation 5 and PC. This was confirmed to not be an oversight by GAME España's Twitter account, which responded to a question about the game only being available on PlayStation with clarification that the retailer currently only has pre-orders for PS5 and PC in the works.
Xbox not receiving a physical release for Gears of War: Reloaded would certainly be odd, and a PC physical edition is also strange in itself – PC has largely been digital only for years at this point. It's important to note that retailers may be working with limited information at this time, and Xbox receiving no physical edition seems to be a more common occurrence outside the United States, given the console's lack of popularity overseas.
