It’s finally happening, A brand-new remaster of the first Gears game, called Gears of War: Reloaded, is coming out on August 26, 2025. Not just that, but the PlayStation 5 will also be receiving the Xbox exclusive for the first time in gaming history.
The remaster of the iconic third-person shooter was just announced by Microsoft. The title features updated 4K graphics and 120 FPS support. As a bonus, players can play online in both the campaign and multiplayer. Meaning you can get the band back together for some classic, fast-paced action against the Locust. While this may seem like a shock, Xbox titles have slowly been making their way over to PS5, including Hi-Fi Rush. But a flagship title like this is still something to behold.

There is also a bonus for owners of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. These legacy players get to upgrade to the Gears of War: Reloaded edition for free. The only condition is that you had the game before today’s announcement. The first entry in the series was massive and brought fresh life to the shooter genre. Seeing it come back is big, and with a new community joining, it only makes it better. It won’t be long now before players get to shoot through this revived experience.
