Gears of War: Reloaded remasters the 2006 original again, but this time it’s coming to PS5
The mass exodus of formerly exclusive Xbox franchises continues today, with Gears of War being the latest to make its way to PS5. Gears of War: Reloaded is a remastered version of the 2006 classic, and it's coming to PlayStation for the first time along with Xbox and PC when it launches later this summer with a suite of visual and technical upgrades, Microsoft announced today. Image via Xbox Gears will join other Xbox franchises like Forza, Sea of Thieves, and others debuting on the rival platform, and it sounds like it'll be a real pretty version of the game that launched the successful third-person shooter series almost 20 years ago. Gears of War: Reloaded will support 4K resolution, 60 FPS in the campaign, 120 FPS in eight-player multiplayer, HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, 3D Spatial Audio, VRR, remastered textures, 4K assets, enhanced post-processing, and zero loading screens during the campaign. And yeah, you'll be able to play the game cross-platform with anyone on any console or PC, too. To compensate those who bought 2015's Gears of War: Ultimate Edition remaster, Reloaded will be a free upgrade for those who already own it, and it will also be a day one Game Pass Ultimate game. But for PS5 players who feel as though they have been missing out, now's the time for them to join the locust-slaying party. Next year will mark Gears of War's 20th anniversary, so this sort of announcement makes a lot of sense. I'm sure there's even more that Microsoft and Xbox has up its sleeves for Gears in the future, including the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day prequel, which now looks destined for PS5 eventually, too. Image via Xbox Gears of War: Reloaded will launch on Aug. 26 at a discounted price of $39.99 for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, PlayStation 5, Steam, Game Pass Ultimate, and PC Game Pass.
