 Gears of War: Reloaded is the most complete version of the original game to date with the full breadth of content from the Ultimate Edition with immediate access to all post-launch downloadable content at no additional cost – including 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 can be played solo or co-op via spilt-screen or online. The Campaign supports two-player co-op, and Versus Multiplayer allows up to 8 players. The game features cross-play across all platforms. However, signing in with a Microsoft account unlocks full cross-platform functionality.

Signing in with a Microsoft account will enable cross-progression so campaign and multiplayer progress will carry over across devices.  It also allows you to send invites and play with friends across platforms — like Xbox to PlayStation or Steam to Xbox.

Gears of War: Reloaded enhancements for the latest hardware include 4K resolution, 60 FPS in Campaign, 120 FPS in Multiplayer, High Dynamic Range (HDR), Dolby Vision & 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos, 7.1.4 3D Spatial Audio, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), 4k assets and remastered textures, enhanced post-processing visual effects, improved shadows and reflections, super resolution with improved anti-aliasing, and zero loading screens during the Campaign.

“As we approach the 20th anniversary of Gears of War in 2026, we’re reflecting on what this franchise means,” Mike Crump, Studio Head, The Coalition, said. “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.”

Owners of the digital version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition will get a free upgrade to Gears of War: Reloaded.
