Is Gears of War: Reloaded cross-platform?
We all thought the next time we saw Marcus Fenix again would be in the prequel Gears of War: E-Day, but it turns out we are being treated to a fresh take on the original game first. Gears of War: Reloaded was revealed as a remaster of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, which itself was a remake of the original game. If you're lost, all you need to know is this is the first game in the epic saga of burly men cutting monsters in half with chainsaw guns. Alongside Halo, this was the premier multiplayer and co-op experience on Xbox, and all those maps and modes will be back. But is this going to be a similar situation to Forza Horizon 5 adding cross-platform support, or be restricted like Elden Ring: Nightreign? After practicing our perfect reloads and filling our Lancers with gas, we learned all the details about Gears of War: Reloaded's cross-platform support. Is Gears of War: Reloaded cross-platform? Yes, for the first time ever, PlayStation fans will be able to play this franchise on their consoles alongside and against Xbox and PC players. As detailed in the official news post, Gears of War: Reloaded is coming out on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC with complete crossplay support. This means that PlayStation, Xbox, and PC players can all engage in Lancer duels online together in all the multiplayer modes with up to eight players. Co-op is also back, either in split-screen or online with two players, which also supports crossplay for all platforms. The best part is that crossplay is enabled without the need to make or sign in with a Microsoft account, though you will need one to invite friends into your game if they are on other platforms. Recommended Videos However, cross-progression is a different story. Gears of War: Reloaded does have complete cross-progression for both your campaign and multiplayer progress between Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, but this will require you to use a Microsoft account. So, if you plan on playing in a squad with someone on a different platform or will be bouncing between two or more yourself, you will need a Microsoft account.

Image via Xbox. 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 have been many rumors that Microsoft is reportedly working on a Gears of War 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 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 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 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.

Gears Of War: Reloaded confirmed for PS5 but fans are divided over one thing
The game, originally released in 2006, has gone multiplatform and multiplayer with a "remaster from the ground up" A much anticipated video game will be landing on PlayStation 5, but despite exciting new features that allow multiple people to get involved on multiple platforms, the drop has left many fans divided over what is yet another remake. Gears of War: Reloaded will be released this summer in honour of the 20th anniversary of "the game that started it all" - Gears of War - which comes next year in 2026. Hailed as "a celebration of one of gaming's most iconic franchises," the game will be multiplayer and multiplatform, promising to deliver "the most complete version of the original game to date". With the original game released in 2006, Gears of War: Reloaded introduces the franchise to a new generation of players. However, some gaming enthusiasts have been left frustrated and not hugely impressed by the remake element. Many took to X, previously Twitter, to express their annoyance. One wrote: "Is any company capable of making a new game or IP??? I am SO SICK of remakes. "This is the SECOND remake of the same game now. Why not do 2 or 3? You could have ported the original REMAKE to PS5. "Coalition really needs to get their priorities straight. I'm calling it right now, they are gonna remake two and three later down the line and charge you $40 for each of those games also. So that with Gears 6 will be $200 total. And Gears 6 surely will be riddled with micro transactions." Another said: "Gears of War on PlayStation… I guess Halo is up next soon, strange era of gaming we are in." A third chimed in :"Another remaster? Was expecting a complete remake from the ground up". A fourth wrote: "This is just the 1st game remastered yet again? Or the original trilogy?" A fifth wondered: "Is this just a remaster of the first game..." Others didn't share in the rage, though, and were thrilled by the details. "This is awesome," one enthused, while another simply commented: "Let's go!" Microsoft unveiled a remaster of the original Gears of War game from the Xbox 360 in what has been dubbed one of the platform's most important exclusives. The game will be released for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Rumours suggested that all three initial games would be getting a remaster but there's no sign of the other two yet, although Microsoft is already hinting at further releases, or game announcements, for the series' 20th anniversary. Reloaded doesn't have a reveal trailer as of yet, with the news only being announced on Xbox Wire at 5pm on Bank Holiday Monday (May 5). The game will feature support for 120 fps and 4K resolution, with cross-progression and cross-play on all formats and extensive new multiplayer options. Reloaded will include split-screen and online options for two-players with eight-player PvP also available. The remaster also includes new HDR, Dolby Vision & 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos, and 7.1.4 3D Spatial Audio options. Plus, the promise of zero loading screens, improved shadows and reflections (but no specific mention of ray-tracing), and 4K assets and remastered textures. It'll include all the content ever released for the game, including previous remaster Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition, with all DLC, maps, modes, bonuses. A "full roster of classic characters and cosmetics" is promised as unlockables. The remaster is set to cost £39.999 in the UK and will launch on August 26, 2025. There'll be no additional charge to play it via Game Pass, but it's also a free upgrade for anyone that already owns Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, in other words, if you bought a digital version before 5pm BST on May 5. "No matter where you play, Reloaded has been re-engineered to look and feel incredible," Xbox added. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
