Gears of War: Reloaded comes to PS5 on August 26

Rev up your Lancers

Gears of War: Reloaded comes to PS5 on August 26, remastered from the ground up.

[Nyxus]

Gears on PlayStation. So it happened.

[-Foxtrot]

Despite being told repeatedly by the same people it wouldn't

Halo and Fable are next.

May aswell throw in Rare Replay while they are at it.

[darthv72]

...but wasn't there a build of gears for PS3 back in the day... before MS threw cliffy a butt load of $$?

[darthv72]

this part is odd... "As a token of our gratitude to longtime fans, Gears of War: Reloaded will be a free upgrade for players who purchased the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition prior to today’s announcement."

I have it on disc, but Im also a GPU member, so it really doesn't affect me. It looks like it sucks for the others who arent GPU members and also have it on disc. It should be a free upgrade for them as well. Maybe they will address that as it gets closer.

Only way to make this announcement even better (for me anyway) is also announcing a new themed controller. Yeah yeah... it's my thing.

[LoveSpuds]

Playstation gamers get the games, Sony get their 30% cut as the platform holder....seems like Sony and their customers are doing very well out of MS no matter how Obscure wants to spin it.

[Cacabunga]

Been waiting for this since PS3.
It’s happening and I’m getting it day one if……it gets a physical release

[OptimusDK]

Yes a lot of SONY fans where saying, that it was a disaster that MS took Activision and COD and this would lead to games coming of the platform. I guess they where not right at all - this is just the opposite. I guess this and the fact that Trump has dismantled the FTC would help MS buy the next one.

[Obscure_Observer]

"Gears on PlayStation. So it happened."

Course it happened! Playstation owners are happily making Xbox games the most successful games on Sony´s own platform. Literally obliterating Sony´s own first party offerings by far in their own store!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Forza Horizon 5 and Minecraft are freaking Top 3.

Xbox has FIVE games among Playstation best selling games in April!

https://blog.playstation.co...

[Nyxus]

They are just another third party publisher for PlayStation, no different from publishers like Square, Capcom, etc.

[Muigi]

Playstation has outsold Xbox like 5:1 for two generations in a row. Just give it up lol

[IAMRealHooman]

PlayStation user actually buy games.
If helldivers was announced for xbox and it was not on GP, it wouldn't sell shit, despite being one of the best MP titles in a while.

[Neonridr]

@Nyxus - except they are raking in the cash by comparison.

[CrashMania]

Have we moved the goalposts to publisher wars now?

Congrats to MS on being a full on 3rd party publisher I guess, congrats to Capcom, Ubisoft, EA, Take Two and other 3rd party publishers for also finding success on Playstation as well.

[Obscure_Observer]

@IAMRealHooman

"PlayStation user actually buy games."

Used to hear that they buy quality games and that Xbox games are crap. And here we are.

"If helldivers was announced for xbox and it was not on GP, it wouldn't sell shit, despite being one of the best MP titles in a while."

Ask San Diego Studio about that and be prepared for a shocking response.

[Deeeeznuuuts]

Because believe it or not, most gamers don't really care and most playstation gamers I know, do like Xbox games but they also prefer playstation exclusives and the console, so yeah, just like me, I can't wait for gears on PlayStation, bring on halo now!

[raWfodog]

"Literally obliterating Sony´s own first party offerings by far in their own store!"
"Xbox has FIVE games among Playstation best selling games in April!"

You keep blasting this like it's a flex, it's so funny.

It's a 3rd party publishers job to put their games on different platforms. How is this different from other publishers like EA, Ubisoft, etc? They are SUPPOSED to put their games on as many platforms as they can. How come we don't see other publishers flexing how many games they have on Playstation over PS 1st party games? 😂🤣

[darthv72]

@rawdog... its kind of a flex if you think about it. People who choose not to buy the XB to play these games but are buying the games now on PS really DID want to play them... they just have a thing against the XB (for some ?? reason). Whatever their reasoning is... they are happy to give MS their $$ to play the games now.

PS (only) gamers are hungry for good games while the platform holder (Sony) drags their feet with 1st party releases. Take that as you will, but if sales are to be believed (like the PS side always touts) then it should be proof that PS gamers are tired of being ignored, or dealing with remakes/remasters that nobody asked for, and will turn to the next best thing to come their way... that happens to be Microsoft.

[IAMRealHooman]

@Obscure_Observer

The shocking response that xbox version sales are lower then the ps5 and switch versions?

2:1 ps5 to xbox ( consoles sales)
5:1 switch to xbox ( consoles sales)
xbox basically doesn't exist in asia.

" Everything is an xbox" because no one wants to buy their hardware.

[lukasmain]

LMAO 😂

[Cellblock11]

New games are at the top of a New Games list, what a shocker. Ghost of Yotei will be doing some "obliterating" of it's own soon enough.

[raWfodog]

@darthv72

The fallacy that it seems like some are pushing is that PS gamers are ONLY interested in playing PS first-party games. Where did you get that crazy idea from? If that was so, then why are those PS-only gamers also buying third-party games from so many other publishers? When has any company (PS or Xbox) ever cranked out more first-party games than a third-party publisher? Maybe that's the point of understanding where we keep missing each other.

"People who choose not to buy the XB to play these games but are buying the games now on PS really DID want to play them..."

Just because many people chose not to buy an Xbox to play those 'exclusive' games, why would you even think that meant they did not want to play them? I'm sure that there are PS games that Xbox-only gamers want to play, but does that necessarily mean that they want to drop $500 for a PS5 just to play them? You can still want to play certain games but not want to spend a huge upfront cost to play them. And it's also conceivable that the extra cost of Xbox Series just did not appeal to many people who already had a PS5, especially those who saw the writing on the wall so long ago. The only way Xbox was going to make any good on their purchase of ABK was to NOT keep their games exclusive to their console. What many people probably didn't see (some did) was Xbox eventually going full third-party publisher with many of their titles not even related to ABK.

I can't speak for everyone but personally I'd be pissed right now if I already had a PS5 but decided to drop money on an Xbox console just to play their 'exclusive' games, and then they turn around and put all of their games on the PS5 anyway.

Also, when third-party video games that are already available on PS5 eventually (maybe) make their way to Xbox, will you think Xbox-only gamers are 'hungry' to play those games or just happy that they get to play them without having to buy a PS5 (or even more expensive PC) in order to play them?

[cbuc1125]

Dude...just stop....its pathetic really.

[Doomeduk]

Sony keeping the lights on in many of these studios and all Sony asks for is enough to wet their beak's say 30% and they sell it in their store now say thank you to the nice company and move forward
On topic see that Xbox series in the corner ? Chark around and call the police there's been an unexpected death

[MrBeatdown]

War's over soldier. Phil said you can go home.

[PrecursorOrb]

Sony gets a cut of every purchase though so I guess it kinda evens out

[anast]

Those top three switch places more than gentleladies and gentlemen of leisure.

[Jigga69]

I really like how xbox fans hide their tears and act like they are happy like you do. Now all Xbox games are coming on PlayStation and Day One because Microsoft see that you support it. Thank you. :-)

[badz149]

We have a cheerleader for a 3rd party publisher on PS now LOL

[repsahj]

We are happy because you are not happy.

[Blad3runner00]

You do realise that Forza, Gears of War are no longer XBox games right? They are published by Microsoft. Theres a difference. This is literally more reason not to need a XBox.

[Z501]

No different from Epic games

[Old_Prodigy]

"Used to hear that they buy quality games and that Xbox games are crap. And here we are."

Three out of 4 games here were great long before Microsoft owned them. Anyone can buy homework and put their name on it. A game doesn't become bad just because Microsoft bought it. Their tendencies show in their work though. You couldn't catch me playing that micro-transaction filled version of Minecraft, and obviously cookie cutter Oblivion with a facelift would do well. The only game you've mentioned here that was truly made by Microsoft is Forza. Even Gears was owned by Epic before they bought the rights.

[1Victor]

@obscured: “Xbox has FIVE games among Playstation best selling games in April! “
🤦🏿🤣 that’s some galaxy strong copium you’re been prescribed there be careful you’re almost overdosing on it, now cue master chief entrance music 🎹🎼. Phill is the best at destroying things, one more gen and no more Xbox let’s hope obscured don’t decide to have a permanent job pushing daisies.
Edit: it goes without saying saying I’ll get it as long as it’s on a disk and can be played offline.

[generic-user-name]

Wanna know what my favourite part about all this is? With Sony cancelling games and fumbling big releases (Concord), this would have been a great time for Xbox (the actual box) to have a resurgence if they didn't already bend the knee and provide PS5 owners with reasons to be happy with their platform of choice. PlayStation just can't stop winning, they have almost supernatural good luck.

[GhostScholar]

I think the point was that Sony first party is non existent now. Not only are they not putting their first party games on other consoles, they’re just not making any lol also, yes Microsoft is basically a third party publisher now, but all
Those games still come
To game pass day one. Sonys games don’t go on psplus day one and never will. So until Microsoft stops adding all their games to game pass it still makes no sense to buy a ps5 til they start making games again. I have a ps5 and loved Astro bot and look forward to ghost of yotei. That’s a lot all there is to look forward to unless they announce stuff at their summer state of play.

[neutralgamer1992]

I was really hoping for a Gears of War collection that included all the games

After the recent announcement of price hikes for Xbox related stuff it would not surprise me if all Gears of War games are sold separately for $40 it seems Microsoft wants to generate as much revenue as possible now so we won't be getting any more collections

[Obscure_Observer]

"They are just another third party publisher for PlayStation, no different from publishers like Square, Capcom, etc."

For you, yes.

Except they´re still a *console* manufacture to us and we´ll continue and get everything day one Gamepass Ultimate on Xbox while everyone else who don´t have access to GPU will have to pay full $80 for Xbox first party games.

I rather keep my Xbox Series X and Game Pass subscription over whatever other platforms offerings right now.

At the moment I think all parties are happy.

[MastaMold]

Keep coping salty tears all around

[isarai]

Olympic class mental gymnastics

[lukasmain]

You are so funny man. I'm glad you're here xD

[Lightning77]

I've been at odds with Obscure myself but all the replies to I see are "salt" or "mental gymnastics" yet nobody can refute his claim. Seems to be a big theme on here. Yet nobody can argue against a fairly sound argument from what I can see.

The last part is just his opinion of course. But he is a extreme Xbox enthusiasts isn't off base with his top statement.

[MrBeatdown]

Buying a few Microsoft games on a PlayStation you already own is a lot cheaper than a $500, oops, I mean $600 console plus a $15 per month Game Pass, oops, I mean $20 a month Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

But you keep thinking everyone is gonna pay $80 for every Microsoft game (in an article about a $40 remaster, no less).

[Ps5conehead]

You realize you do not need a Xbox to play GPU. You can do it from many different options

[GamingSinceForever]

Why are you concerned over how others choose to spend their money?

Everyone knows about GamePass by now without your constant advertising. It’s still lags the competition as a service for a reason.

[TheExecutioner]

heheh every xbox fan feeling right now

[monkey602]

Gears 1 with multiplayer versus on PS5! This is what I wanted! Bring it! Can't wait to get back to the Subway!

[RaidenBlack]

Man, when I read the news, I thought finally it'd be the trilogy and not just the first one, which was already remastered, to be remastered again.
Good for PS folks but, there's still no Gears 2 or 3 on PC.
Its just Gears 1, Gears 1 Remastered, Gears 1 Re-Remastered, Gears 4 and Gears 5 with a Gears 0 prequel incoming.
Hate these kind of incomplete collections.

[Tacoboto]

Xbox bringing one of their biggest IPs finally over to PS as a remastered Remaster is oddly fitting.

I somehow never played the campaign of 3, I thought this year would finally be the year we'd get a full UE5 collection

[VenomUK]

Stone the crows.

This came out of nowhere.

[monkey602]

I was dissapointed by the trilogy rumours because they were said to be single player only. I'd have no interest in that. This news is exactly what I wanted

[Christopher]

Weird to see this news in this manner. Congrats to those who wanted Gears on PS5.

[-Foxtrot]

I'm sure they did the same with Forza

I feel like it's so Xbox die hards don't cause a massive riot if it's bigged up as huge news at an event show.

[Obscure_Observer]

"I feel like it's so Xbox die hards don't cause a massive riot if it's bigged up as huge news at an event show."

Not really. They no longer care about die hard fans anymore.

Xbox Showcase this year will be all digital, hitting they don´t longer care for a small fanbase now that they have everyone on every single gaming platform.

Xbox is all about games for everyone now! And money from everyone!

[darthv72]

It really does seem like Phil was right in his "game by game basis" comment. Picking certain ones to release makes that pill easier to swallow. Especially if it means there is also something in it for the XB fans. In this case, XB also gets the reloaded edition.

Now if there is a Halo game to come next, I'm guessing a remaster of Reach. Its Halo enough to get people who chose not to play on XB into the fold, and also not a Master Chief game so it wont ruffle longtime Halo XB fans. If you notice, almost all of these PS releases have been non mainline entries or ones that were initially pitched to PS at one time. which makes a PS release of starfield that much more expected.

[wesnytsfs]

Why would they care. The games is how many year old now. It always seems lke it was ps fans bod mouthing xbox games, ironic when they get a chance tp buy them they outselll evrythgin else on PS.

[darthv72]

I'll bite again... can't wait to feel the chainsaw blade rumble and gun recoil in my trigger finger.

[ocelot07]

So it also has the multiplayer and well. That's incredible.

Nice to see that the Gears of war ultimate players get a free upgrade. I bought that on pc and it was DOA.

[PanicMechanic]

Haha!

[ocelot07]

Looking forward to spending countless hours in the MP again. I wonder if this means Gears E Day will be releasing on PS5 as well.

[Lightning77]

Very possible. However I think they're gonna keep that one to themselves for the time being for a year or two.

Fables Delay was due to the game simply not being fun to play according to insiders. So they delayed that until next year. So far no mention of a PS version.

As I said could be wrong so who knows.

[ocelot07]

A few insiders I have been subbed to on X. With 2 of them confirming a April release on Oblivion and a shadow drop. As well as while other insiders where saying Gears Trilogy remaster eas coming to ps5. The two I was following was saying Gears 1 remaster. However they both said no mention of MP so assumed it was single player and co op only. That they got wrong.

Both of these leakers have said a Fable port or E day, Fable and Perfect Dark are being worked on. I believe them however just because they are being worked on. Like you said may not mean it will he a day and date release with Xbox and pc.

[LoveSpuds]

I disagree, it's simple economics for me. They have slowly gotten Xbox fanatics used to the idea of their games on PS.

At some point, MS are going to go day and date simply because of the costs involved in marketing a game twice if they don't. It's just a matter if when MS feel they have gotten the hard-core Xbox fans onside.

[lukasmain]

Of course it will. The question now is, if it's 'day and date' release and that just depends on how long ago they started development for a PS5 version. If it doesn't release day and date, it won't be because they don't like the optics or scared of their hardcore fanbase's backlash.

[SimpleDad]

There it is! YES!!!

[BlackCountryBob]

Great to see on PS5, but have to be honest I was hoping for a trilogy remaster rather than just the first game (mainly as I’d never got the chance to play the 2nd and 3rd games, and I believe those ones also aren’t on Steam).

[ocelot07]

Give it time.

[darthv72]

I never understood that way of thinking... You have every chance, even still to this day. Its not like copies of the originals are hard to find. 360's are still out there in good working order, same with xbox one's that can play them as well as series x that can play them.

The only time that phrase "I never got the chance", would ever make sense is if that something is no longer available anywhere in any form. And even then the right phrase is "I missed my chance".

[INMATEofARKHAM]

I imagine with this shipping with MP that they don't want to release them all at once because it would/could cannibalize a player base as each game fights for players.

[Redemption-64]

Nice, can't wait. Halo next. Honestly at this point, I don't see the next Xbox selling well at all

[yeahokwhatever]

i dont think there will be one, tbh

[Levii_92]

This is just the first game right?

[The_Hooligan]

Yes, that is correct. I am sure others will get released in the future. And then they will probably do a bundle for all the games together.

[Levii_92]

Oh for the love of... i'm starting to think we'll never see GOW 2 and 3 properly remastered on consoles and pc.

[gold_drake]

oh wow, so its really happening

[ravens52]

It has arrived, Bwhahahahahahah. Lol jk. If there's not a physical copy and it doesn't have the full games on there it's a no go for me 🤷🏾.

[OhReginald]

Give us Halo (Specifically Reach) please and thank you!

[Relientk77]

Forza ✅️
Gears of War ✅️
Halo is next

[lukasmain]

LOL yep

[Elda]

No need to buy this to play on my PS5 Pro when I can play it on my XBSX through Gamepass. I'll never buy any XB games to play on my PS5 Pro.

[Popsicle]

“I’ll never buy any XB games to play on my PS5 Pro.”

Why? No judgment as I am genuinely curious.

I have a Series X but haven’t subscribed to GP for a long time. Now I am waiting for Xbox games to release for PS5 so I can play the best console version of the game.

Again, no judgement, just curious?

[Elda]

It doesn't make any financial sense. If I own an XBSX & have a year subscription of Gamepass Ultimate why would I spend the full retail price ($50 to $80) on XB games to play on my PS5 Pro. My Pro is for PS exclusives & 3rd party games that are not Gamepass.

[Traecy]

I agree. If you own both consoles why spend full price on XB games to play on PS5 when you can play them on your XB through a rental service & save money.

[Cellblock11]

"It doesn't make any financial sense. If I own an XBSX & have a year subscription of Gamepass Ultimate why would I spend the full retail price ($50 to $80) on XB games to play on my PS5 Pro."

And that's exactly why no one believes people who claim even though they get a game though their GP subscription they will "still buy the game to support the developer". Not gonna happen.

[Muigi]

Bet

[dveio]

Anyone who's been following the console business for so many years, it indeed IS crazy today witnessing true & original Xbox/MS 1st party IPs coming to Playstation.

Forza, Gears now already there.

Halo & Flight Sim will highly likely be following soon, too.

Seems like Gears E-Day won't be an exclusive anymore.

[Jigga69]

halo next.

[MaximusPrime_]

Another big game going to PS5.

Microsoft knew the possible risk of making their fans mental but they have no choice, they need money.

I can't see them planning a successor to Xbox series X.
They are definitely on the correct path, Sega's path.

[Neonridr]

PlayStation fans have been giving them plenty of money already though with recent releases and then those coming this summer.

[ocelot07]

I don't want to blow my own horn. But if anyone has the time to go through my comment history. Over the last I want to say 3 maybe 5 years I said. Microsoft want to come the biggest third party publisher rather than a platform. I got bashed and burnt on hear for my apparent idiotic views.

Microsoft has done well for them selves. They still have gamepass. They are pretty much a third party publisher now. Maybe they will still have a handful of times exclusives like south of midnight and Indiana Jones. But they are now one of the biggest and dear I say...best 3rd party publisher's right now. They are making money from pc, playstation and give it a year money from Nintendo players. That's been their aim for years imo.

[lukasmain]

Well they have been giving us all their exclusives. We can choopse what we want to play. You only need playstation and switch in the console space.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

Gears releasing on PS still isn't a big deal to you right?

Can't see something that isn't a big deal as giving someone plenty of money already.

[Neonridr]

@Outside_ofthe_Box - of course it's a big deal to me, I get to play it now on my Pro and I don't have to sit at my computer. That's a bonus.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

"no offense but porting over a 3 year old title isn't exactly anything to write home about"
https://n4g.com/news/265305...

Glad to know that you now consider these titles Microsoft are porting over are something to write home about now :)

[Neonridr]

@outside_ofthe_box - I love Gears. It will always hold a place in my heart. But a big deal for me doesn't mean that Gears 6 will launch day and date on the PS5. There's a difference there. Besides, this is a remaster, this isn't like them porting over MCC or something like that.

[PhillyDonJawn]

A new xbox console has already been confirmed.

[Lightning77]

Boom there it is. They did it a month before the showcase. Probably to ease possible backlash. Announcing their older games in a blog post/X seems to be the way to go rather than a red carpet debut like they did with Indy. Which got them lots of heat.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Good for MS I guess but definitely good for PS owners. I might even pick up a copy on PS just to give a few of you that two piece combo. If ya know ya know

[MaximusPrime_]

Halo is next

[MetroidFREAK21]

I'm glad my Series S is a back compat machine. Gimme all these games on PS5

[CrimsonWing69]

Oh I’m all about this. One of my fave series… well the original trilogy, that is.

[DivineHand125]

It is sad the game is no longer exclusive to Xbox since it lessens competition but at the same time, having the games available on all platforms is pro consumer. I would also appreciate it if it has cross save support.

[darthv72]

Have no fear... "Gears of War: Reloaded supports cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms."

[Cockney]

You two sound like a cheesy advert

[MagUk]

Some more meat for the grinder hopefully there will be more people online 🤞🏻

[MaximusPrime_]

Hilarious reading on twitter, all those confused Xbox owners

[italiangamer]

Those guys will bring even their mom to PlayStation but that freaking Hellblade 2 just won't come 🤬🤬🤬

[lukasmain]

Bahahahaaaa 😂 wow dude. The war is well and truly over. I'll be picking this up and playing through the campaign on PS5 PRO

[P_Bomb]

Wow. At this pace I won’t need an Xbox next gen. 🤯

[Ninver]

Never needed it the past two generations.

[jjb1981]

So, $80?

[blanka4545]

same as the first one already beat it but will be great because of online play so down for it! :) Single player can careless already beat it! Online play let's go!!!

[InUrFoxHole]

ROFL! This is hilarious to watch. Weird when you give gamers, games and the option to play them... they'll put aside some stupid console war and play them. MS is the most pro consumer company this gen. Thank the gaming gods for greed

[dveio]

"MS is the most pro consumer company this gen.“

How's that?

[Aloymetal]

Don't even bother, tomorrow MS could announce they're leaving the gaming industry because no one in the world buys their shit and you'll have some hardcore green fanatics say it's because MS is really tired of making too much money lol.

[InUrFoxHole]

Easy.... They're giving gamers the option to play where they want. Now don't confuse what I'm saying ms is still a greedy pos company just like the rest. Is there a company you think has done more for gamers this gen?

[dveio]

@Fox

"They're giving gamers the option to play where they want."

You're probably way too intelligent to even suggest this is a good argument.

[jlove4life]

Whole slate

[jarek98]

Flight Simulator, Flight Simulator, Flight Simulator, please ;-)

[BlaqMagiq1]

Next up Halo and the war will officially be over.

Hopefully this gets a physical release with everything on the disc. Absolutely deserves it.

[akaFullMetal]

2 out of the 3 so far.

[Ninver]

Nothing else will be of surprise from now onwards. Bring on ES6.

If Gears MP has cross play it could breath new life into the series. Interesting times ahead.

[AsunaYuukiTheFlash]

This is getting weird. Halo is next I guess?

[arissaseah51]

It is a great experience.

[arissaseah51]

I think they need some time, but they are ahead of the time.

[Abear21]

This is awesome, one console to play all the games. From Astro and Ghost, to Gears and Forza, what appears to be great for consumers is actually less choice, closer to a monopoly, and in the long run, less competition usually means less choice and higher prices for consumers. Just saying. Come on Sega and enter the battle! Sony needs competition to drive down prices.

[Starman69]

Microsoft throwing the towel in. At least they are humble in defeat 😆

[babadivad]

What's Gears reloaded?

[Knightofelemia]

Good news I love Gears. I hope it does well enough for Microsoft to drop Gears 2 on Playstation. I wish Microsoft would also bring Killer Instinct to Playstation as well.
