The multiplayer beta for Gears of War: Reloaded, is available on PS5/PS5 Pro/Xbox Series X|S, Read ahead to learn how they compare.
Gears of War: Reloaded tops PS5 pre-order rankings as anticipation builds for its multi-platform release on August 26, 2025.
I’m so glad to be returning to this series after so many years. The trilogy was honestly some of the best gaming of that gen for me. 4 and 5 just was missing something and I didn’t find them as fun as. 1-3. I’m going to attempt the platinum, but I suck at MP.
Agree i actually liked the first 2 hours of 4 but then its like it hit a wall.
5 was a significant improvement but not even close the the original trilogy
1 2 and 3 were awesome. Especially 2 it was a wonderful time to be an Xbox owner. Although I was a PS3 guy back then you can't not argue that 360 brought the games. Wish those days were back...
That would be great if the Playstation version outsells the Xbox version. Considering XBox players will play it on Gamepass, it probably will! 😆
Just like you said it's in GP (like all their first part) I would imagine it definitely would outsell it considering Xbox fans clearly played and bought it already. I see you're saying it in trolling fanboy fashion clearly.
You realize PS guys are funding xbox Studios and funding their GP right?
Well the irony of the situation is that I actually got a free copy for owning the Ultimate Edition on PC, so I won't be buying it again on PS5. ;P
Yes, and as long as PS fans keep receiving Xbox first party games(and they will) I'm sure they're happy with that. Lol.
PS guys are funding Xbox software, and giving people reasons to not buy Xbox hardware, which is accelerating Xbox's exit from the hardware space.
You're not a true PS fan! You may not be funding the studios but many others certainly will.
Yea, I've always been a multiplatform gamer, never claimed otherwise. I love MS Flight Sim (especially in VR) & Forza Horizon games, supported the few MS games I do enjoy on PC throughout the years. I just swore off XBox hardware looong ago with 3 red ringed 360s, and look forward to the day that they get pushed out of hardware all together out of spite for that. (yep, I'll never let it go! 😆) They're playing right into the mega 3rd party publisher route, basically in line to be the American Tencent. I just really hate MS's lack of building of new quality IP like they used to. Lack of risk, lack of vision these days.
If you already own Gears Ultimate, like many of us, Reloaded is free on Series consoles and PC. But, I agree It would be great for Xbox gamers to play it on GP while the game is being sold to PlayStation. That is a win is a win in my book. That is great revenue to fund GP or more Microsoft or Xbox stuff.
@Hooman as far as The MS quarterly earnings GP has been sustaining itself and even making up a large percentage games, service and content for Xbox. It's doing fine in its own. Obviously it'll do better with multiplat releases, clearly, money from both ends are being made.
@Frosty you've been the class clown since thanks gen started. You said the S was holding everyone back which was wrong now you really think they're leaving hardware? You're not mentally all there remember? Why would anyone in their right mind listen to someone like you? Anyway gave fun waiting till 2035 if Xbox were to leave.
@Otter
Hsve fun with that crusade of wanting Xbox out of buissness because of Red ring. You let that keep you up at night hey it's your life.
Lack of new ips? Avowed, South Of Midnight, Indy, Hifi, Starfield? You said lack of new IP. No returning IP like Ninja Gaiden 4? Even Our worlds?
If you're complaining about Xbox "lack of IP" I see why you're only on PC the days. Looks like PS lacks even less new IP.
That's all stuff that would have existed with or without Microsoft. All they did was throw some extra cash. It had nothing to do with Microsoft's creative vision and you know it.
@otterx
Like you stated, you got a free copy like many other Xbox players will. Don't be fooled by the idea of "Sales". We just want a healthy game going into E-Day.
Fair enough. I want to see the series continue, so I can definitely get behind that. It was good to get a break from the series for a while, but I'd like to see where they can take it next.
"That's all stuff that would have existed with or without Microsoft."
Some of their studios were on a constant verge of struggle like Obsidian. Who have to been the biggest player of this generation. Everyone talks about Nurturing Studios and MS has done just that to everyone's surprise.
Their games are everywhere so why does it matter how it's made or who's creative or not? Why the constant crys cope and seethe about it? You're not ok.
This series is going to have a fresh start and will do great numbers. After this they could just remaster 2nd game and it would sell just as well. I was hoping for a complete collection of all gears games remastered but it seems MS wants to release one game at a time
Another Xbox first party banger making it to the top as it should just to shut the mouths of the Xbox haters who have been calling Xbox gamers trash for decades!
Gears of War: Reloaded ahead of Death Stranding 2 just 10 days ahead of its worldwide launch is *truly* mind blowing! O.o
They love xbox games now and still won't give xbox credit lol. Fanboys are just a sad bunch of people. I remember when I was a kid, it was about playing all the games no one cared what system it was on. Those were the best days of gaming.
Gears of War was an original Epic Games IP until Microsoft bought the rights in 2014.
Gears of War is not an original Microsoft creation, but an example of an adopted third-party IP that Microsoft later fully integrated.
Thank you!
"Gears of War was an original Epic Games IP until Microsoft bought the rights in 2014."
Gears of War was *born* on Xbox and was fully funded by MS from the scratch!
By comparison, unlike MS, Sony doesn´t even own neither Spider-Man and/or Wolverine but you will still count both games as PS owned exclusives games and celebrate whatever milestone in sales on other platforms just the same, so spare me from your hypocrisy.
Fuck me Obscure, stop being such a pathetic victim....the console wars died 15 years ago!
"Fuck me Obscure, stop being such a pathetic victim....the console wars died 15 years ago!"
Who cares about console wars? I´m speaking facts!

"Gears of War was *born* on Xbox"
You gotta admit that I didn't say any contrary.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition owners are receiving free codes for Gears of War: Reloaded from Microsoft. Eligible users should check their Xbox messages for redemption details.

I mean they could do like Sony and upcharge you for each upgrade to Last of Us....
Yeah let's talk crap about a company that offers something free when they don't have to. Hope you had that same energy when Sony charged $10 for the last us remaster and $70 for the remake
I bought Gears of War: UE on disk when it launched. I received a code for Gears of War: Reloaded. Originally, I believed only people who owned digital copies of Gears of War:UE would receive free copies of Reloaded.
Was wondering if the physical peeps would be able to partake, seeing as they have made every effort to stress "digital only" in all of their marketing material. I too have the disc, but then again I also have GPU so I'm good either way.
I can’t remember if I ever claimed Gears UE with the now defunct Games with Gold program. I’m also subbed to Gamepass Ultimate . Lastly I did play Gears 5 a week ago.
I only bought the disc on Xbox One too, but I got a code yesterday. Somehow.
I don't recall the game being a part of Games with Gold either - I know Gears 5 was. I wonder if they're just being extra generous for certain cases (i.e. Physical owners who are also subscribed to or have maintained a sub for extended time to Game Pass Ultimate?)
I got 1, and I'm pretty vocal about my disdain for Microsoft on here! 😂
There was a time when I supported them more on PC, but I finally lost my patience with them.
I'll check this out though since it's free, and I enjoyed Gears once upon a time ago.
I heard physical owners have gotten a code as well so you just might get lucky.
Yep - I responded above but I got a code as well despite being a physical owner of the game. There's definitely some other criteria besides what they've publicly said.
I own a physical copy ultimate edition and have it installed. No code :(
Could be because even though I owned the disc and installed it, the game ran through my old gamepass subscription because it shows 0 hours logged.
Could also be that I cancelled gamepass along time ago and do not subscribe to any tier. Or maybe just bad luck. Who knows 🤷
The download size and schedule for the PS5 Multiplayer Beta for Xbox Game Studios and game, Gears of War: Reloaded, have been revealed.
Pre order is not a problem when you know the game is 100% completed with extras. You're getting a solid game with endless hours of enjoyment on an updated engine.
"the game runs at its best on the PS5 Pro in Performance mode, with a higher average resolution compared to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in Graphics mode"
MS evidently enjoying Pro devkits. Thank you Team Xbox.
Most fun I've had in a gears mp game in a long time.
If the Pro is the most powerful console, It should run the best on that console, I would think.
I’m glad not every team under Microsoft’s banner is on some clear bs like the Doom team is.
Roll on next weekend
