In the series' debut on Sony consoles, Gears of War: Reloaded will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5, an option that is not currently available for Xbox Series X/S versions of the game. Launching on August 26 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, Gears of War: Reloaded is a newly remastered version of the third-person shooter series' first entry. The game marks the second time Gears of War is getting the remaster treatment, the first being 2015's Gears of War: Ultimate Edition.
Gears of War: Reloaded marks yet another former Xbox-exclusive franchise making its way over to PlayStation, with Forza Horizon 5 racing to Sony consoles on April 28. The remaster's PlayStation debut confirms at least one half of a rumor from earlier this year that Halo and Gears of War are coming to PlayStation 5. While the jury is still out on if Master Chief and Cortana will follow suit after nearly 14 years of Xbox exclusivity, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has made it clear in the past that no first-party franchise is off limits.
