Gears of War Reloaded: Is it coming to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2?
Read More:
After so much anticipation, the Gears of War franchise is back as Gears of War: Reloaded. This game will serve as the remastered version of the original title.There have been many rumors that Microsoft is reportedly working on a Gears of War collection.And it seems this upcoming title is going to be the first representative of that collection. However, there are also claims that those rumors regarding a 'collection' are actually false as Reloaded is a single stand-alone title. This game is going to be released on all the major platforms, but will Nintendo fans get their hands on this highly anticipated title? Gears of War Reloaded is going to be released on August 26 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. This exciting news might also disappoint OG Xbox fans as one of the most popular Xbox-exclusive titles is also landing on their rival platforms as well, that too on the same day. But what about the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2?As of now, there has been no confirmation by The Coalition if the game is coming to those two popular Nintendo hybrid consoles. The announcement only mentioned three platforms, where Nintendo didn't get a place. So, as of now, Gears of War Reloaded is not available on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.It's actually pretty astonishing to see Coalition skipping Nintendo at the first hour, which would have made the sales figure skyhigh, keeping in mind the anticipation regarding Switch 2's June 5 release date. It's quite understandable to see the developers omitting Switch, but Switch 2 would have been a brilliant option for Switch 2.We even don't know if GTA 6 will ever grace the upcoming hybrid console , but Cyberpunk 2077 is already slated to be launched on Switch 2. Cyberpunk 2077 is already a hugely graphics-demanding title, so running Gears of War Reloaded shouldn't be a big problem for Switch 2.Yeah, it's true that Reloaded will be a huge leap from its base game in terms of resolutions, shadows, reflections, dynamic ranges, and many more. But Switch 2 is also coming with its own upgrades like enhanced DLSS, custom NVIDIA GPU, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and many more. So, we can have our fingers crossed for Gears of War Reloaded to be available on at least Switch 2, if not on the Switch.

The team has been tasked with creating 'breakthrough' products. Allard, who worked with Microsoft for 19 years, co-founded Xbox. He was one of the prominent members at the time of the Xbox and Xbox 360 console launches.

Microsoft layoffs: What CEO Satya Nadella told employees in town hall
Microsoft Chief Executive Satya Nadella has spoken out for the first time following the company's recent decision to cut approximately 6,000 jobs — about three per cent of its global workforce — emphasising that the move was part of a broader internal restructuring and not a reflection of employee performance. Addressing staff during a companywide town hall meeting, Nadella said the layoffs were necessary to realign teams in accordance with Microsoft's evolving priorities, particularly its growing focus on artificial intelligence. He acknowledged the emotional toll of the decision but underscored that it was driven by strategic shifts, not shortcomings in productivity or talent. You may be interested in The job cuts have disproportionately affected engineering roles — a notable development given the traditional perception of these positions as secure. The move highlights a shift in the tech industry, where even product development teams are being reshaped amid the accelerating integration of AI technologies. During the same internal event, executives highlighted Microsoft's significant momentum in selling AI tools to enterprise customers. Chief Commercial Officer Judson Althoff revealed that British banking giant Barclays has committed to purchasing 100,000 licences for Microsoft Copilot — the company's flagship AI assistant. Althoff also noted that several major global firms, including Accenture, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Siemens, now each have over 100,000 users of Copilot within their organisations. Nadella stressed the importance of tracking how deeply Copilot is embedded across client operations, with Microsoft paying close attention to the proportion of users actively engaging with the tool. At a list price of $30 per user per month, the scale of these contracts suggests annual revenues in the tens of millions of dollars — although actual figures are likely reduced by bulk pricing agreements. The developments reflect Microsoft's pivot toward enterprise AI as a key growth area, even as the company trims its workforce to maintain efficiency and focus. (With inputs from Bloomberg)
