Gears of War Ultimate Edition Reportedly Coming to PS5 This Year

Without a doubt, the acclaimed Microsoft game franchise Gears of War requires no introduction. Although earlier installments were exclusive to older consoles, some enthusiasts missed out on these titles. However, with the arrival of the Gears of War Ultimate Edition, which brought the original games to Xbox One and beyond, many finally had a chance to play them. Yet, those without an Xbox have yet to experience this exceptional third-person tactical shooter. Now, rumors are circulating that Microsoft may follow its pattern of porting games to other platforms, such as the PlayStation 5, which could potentially allow those without an Xbox to enjoy Gears of War, including the Ultimate Edition, for the very first time.

Reports suggesting a release of Gears of War Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5 are circulating, with NateTheHate being one of the sources along with numerous other reports, such as those concerning Halo: The Master Chief Collection. However, it remains uncertain if Gears of War Ultimate Edition is intended for the Nintendo Switch 2, as NateTheHate also mentions various Xbox games slated for the next Nintendo console, but the details are yet to be confirmed.

Remember, what we have now are just rumors and leaks; no solid information has been officially disclosed yet. It’s best to avoid getting too excited until Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, or The Coalition themselves confirm any details about Gears of War Ultimate Edition possibly coming to PlayStation 5. If it does happen, it would be a fantastic move to attract new players on other platforms to the series.

Microsoft has adapted several of its games for use on other systems, such as “Sea of Thieves”, “Hi-Fi Rush”, and “Grounded”. Given this trend, it’s not unreasonable to expect that “Gears of War Ultimate Edition” might also make an appearance on additional platforms. Such a move could significantly expand the player base for the series and potentially convert more players into devoted fans.

The Gears of War series comprises several installments, with The Coalition taking over as developers. At present, The Coalition is developing Gears of War: E-Day, which takes us back to E-day, the beginning of the human-Locust Horde conflict. Information has surfaced regarding plans for Gears of War 6, but for now, Gears of War: E-day is the main project in the studio’s pipeline. However, if these rumors are accurate, the team could also be working on porting Gears of War Ultimate Edition to PlayStation 5 and the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

If the rumors about the game leaks are accurate, and assuming that the anticipated release of Gears of War: E-day on a holiday in 2025, there will be ample room for the launch of Gears of War Ultimate Edition on PlayStation 5 without conflicting with the latest game in the series. Since Gears of War: E-day is set fourteen years prior to the original game, releasing the ultimate edition can help build excitement for the franchise.

Some enthusiasts might anticipate this rumor with excitement, yet others could perceive it as a potential distraction from the upcoming Gears of War 6, given that The Coalition is working on multiple projects simultaneously. Although the team seems capable, there are those who yearn for the next chapter in the story following Gears of War 5.
