Microsoft announce a new remaster for the original Gears of War game, which is coming to PlayStation for the first time ever.

Gears of War 1 which was released back in 2006, is getting a visual makeover once again and the first release on a PlayStation console. Microsoft announced that one of their best and most beloved exclusives is being re-released as Gears of War: Reloaded on August 26, 2025, for $39.99 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, PlayStation 5, and Steam.

The game will also be available on day one with Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass. Those who own the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will get to upgrade to Gears of War: Reloaded for free.

Microsoft revealed that this new version is developed by The Coalition in partnership with Sumo Interactive and Disbelief. It includes the full breadth of content from the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition like all post-launch downloadable content at no additional cost — this includes the bonus Campaign act, all multiplayer maps and modes, and a full roster of classic characters and cosmetics unlockable through progression.

Gears of War: Reloaded comparison shot with previous releases. It's not the best way to show the difference, to say the least.

Some rumours suggested that Microsoft are preparing a Gears of War Collection, which would include all Gears of War games remastered and released across all platforms but for now, we're only getting the first Gears game.

The release on PlayStation does not come as a surprise to anyone who followed Microsoft's strategy lately. All of their games will be coming to PlayStation 5 in the future so the company is trying to introduce their older titles to PlayStation fans before the upcoming games, like Gears E-Da,y for example.
