About

Gears of War: Reloaded honors one of gaming’s most recognized series. Boasting 4K resolution, smooth 120 frames per second performance, and an exceptional multiplayer mode with cross-progression and cross-play compatibility across all platforms, this is the ideal method to immerse yourself in the game that began it all.

As 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the Gears of War franchise, we’re taking a moment to look back and appreciate its significance. It’s not just about the tales we’ve woven, but also the bonds we’ve forged, and the moments etched in our memories together. With the release of Gears of War: Reloaded, we aim to welcome a larger community than ever before into this shared experience.

A Modern Classic Goes Multiplatform

First debuting in 2006, Gears of War: Reloaded offers the complete gaming experience anew – upgraded for modern hardware on various devices, thereby introducing the Gears of War series to a fresh crop of gamers.

On August 26, 2025, the game titled Gears of War: Reloaded, created collaboratively by The Coalition, Sumo Interactive, and Disbelief, will be available for purchase at a suggested retail price (SRP) of $39.99.

Gears of War: Enhanced offers a comprehensive collection of content from Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, providing the most extensive rendition of the initial game yet. Immediately upon purchase, players can enjoy all previously released downloadable content at no extra charge – this includes an additional Campaign act, every multiplayer map and mode, as well as a wide array of classic characters and cosmetics that can be unlocked through gameplay progression.

Built for Brotherhood

Gears of War: Reloaded is designed for multiplayer action – whether you’re partnering with others in split-screen mode or connecting online. The Campaign offers two-player cooperative gameplay, while Versus Multiplayer can accommodate up to eight players. With cross-platform compatibility, you and your friends can team up regardless of the device you’re using – no Microsoft account is necessary.

Instead, using a Microsoft account provides comprehensive cross-device compatibility. This means your Campaign and multiplayer advancements are transferable across various devices. Moreover, it empowers you to extend invitations and engage in games with friends irrespective of the platform they’re on—for example, between Xbox and PlayStation, or Steam and Xbox.
