Gears of War Reloaded Beta not working – How to check server status

It's been almost 20 years, but chainsawing an enemy or popping their head in Gears of War is as satisfying as ever. And now you can do it on PS5! Gears of War: Reloaded introduces the third-person shooter to a new generation of youthful gamers who destroy my old ass even though I was playing it likely before they were born. That's a personal problem, but a bigger problem for more than just me is server issues. The beta test for Gears of War: Reloaded was flooded with players when it went live, and it appears there was an adverse effect on the game's matchmaking capabilities. That's a bummer, but getting domed by zoomers who somehow know exactly where the sniper spawns on each map feels way worse. Here's what we know so far about the servers for the Gears of War beta.
