‘Elden Ring Nightreign’ Demo Coming to PAX East This Week; New Gameplay Boss Footage Released [Watch]

Time to break out “Mad World” by Gary Jules again, as Xbox Game Studios and developers The Coalition, Sumo Digital, and Disbelief have dropped a bombshell with Gears of War: Reloaded. Why is it a bombshell? Because not only is coming to Xbox Series, Xbox Game Pass and PC via Steam on August 26, but also for the first time, the PlayStation 5.

The “celebration of one of gaming’s most iconic franchises,” Gears of War: Reloaded is a remaster of the 2006 classic, sporting 4K resolution, 120 frames per second support, and “the ultimate multiplayer experience” with cross-progression and cross-play across all platforms. Xbox fans who own the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will receive a free upgrade to this new version of the game.

“As we approach the 20th anniversary of Gears of War in 2026, we’re reflecting on what this franchise means,” says “It’s about the stories we’ve told, the friendships we’ve built, and the unforgettable moments we’ve shared together. With Gears of War: Reloaded, we’re opening that door to more players than ever.”

Gears of War: Reloaded includes the full wealth of content from the Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, allowing players immediate access to 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.

“And wherever you play, we’re meeting you there with the best version possible. Gears of War: Reloaded includes platform-specific features that make the most of the hardware you already own to deliver a world-class Gears of War experience—faithful to the original, optimized for today, and made for everyone.”
