Lock and load, because one of the most iconic and influential games in Xbox history has just re-emerged from the depths, fully remastered for a new generation. Gears of War: Reloaded is on Game Pass.
Gears of War: Reloaded, the definitive new version of the blockbuster original, has launched to the world. This stunning remaster from The Coalition and Xbox Game Studios is now available on Xbox Series X|S and PC.
You can purchase the game for £39.99, but in the biggest news of all for subscribers, Gears of War: Reloaded is available from Day One on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass. It’s time to relive the beginning.
The Definitive Release of a Legend
This is far more than a simple port. Powered by the latest version of Unreal Engine, Gears of War: Reloaded is a complete remaster of the 2006 classic, now fully optimised for the latest generation of gaming platforms.
The iconic original now looks and plays better than ever, with 4K assets, remastered textures, lighting, shadows, and reflections, plus support for HDR, Dolby Vision, and 7.1 surround sound.
And yes, this is the complete package. Gears of War: Reloaded delivers all post-launch content from the original title, including the bonus campaign act and all multiplayer maps, characters, and cosmetics, at no additional cost. For controls, newcomers can choose a modern, streamlined layout, while veterans can relive the classic, weighty feel they know and love.
Built for Brotherhood
Want co-op, cross-play, and cross-progression? You got it!
Gears has always been about fighting together, and Reloaded embraces that fully. You can crush the Locust threat together through the entire campaign in classic split-screen or online co-op. The Versus multiplayer runs at up to 120fps, offering unmatched clarity and visual fidelity.
Crucially, the game supports full cross-play across all platforms, allowing you and your friends to squad up regardless of where you play. And with cross-progression, you can jump from your console to your PC and back again, and all your campaign saves and multiplayer progression will come with you.
A Legacy of Remastered Good Times
This isn’t the first time the original Gears of War has been given a new lease on life. Many of us have fond memories of looking back to the remastered good times of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. Reloaded promises to be the next, even more definitive, step in preserving this absolute classic.
