GoW Reloaded
Release Date: August 26, 2025
The second refresh of Gears of War - a cult third-person action game from 2006. Gears of War: Reloaded offers all of the content of Gears: Ultimate Edition, including the additional campaign act. There are also various improvements, including support for 4K, 120 fps, HDR and VRR, as well as the crossplay function.
Gears of War: Reloaded is the second - after Gears of War: Ultimate Edition from 2015 - refreshed version of the game Gears of War (2006). We are talking about a shooter set in a science fiction reality, created by Epic Games studio on behalf of Microsoft. The remaster described here is a joint work of The Coalition, Sumo Digital and Disbelief teams.
In Gears of War: Reloaded, we can find all the content prepared for Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, as well as additional enhancements.
First of all, the graphics resolution has been raised to 4K, and the number of frames per second - to 120. Additionally, the whole thing has been enriched with support for HDR and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) technologies. The textures were also refreshed, shadows, reflections and other visual effects were improved, and edge smoothing was also enhanced.
This is not the end, as loading screens from the story campaign have been removed, and the sound has been enriched with the support of Dolby Vision technology and 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos. The complement to technical news is the use of unique features of individual target platforms.
Gears of War: Reloaded also offers cross-play functionality, thanks to which owners of the game from different platforms can play together. Although a Microsoft account is not required, creating one provides various bonuses, including a shared friends list and the ability to transfer campaign and multiplayer progress between devices.
In terms of gameplay and related content, Gears of War: Reloaded is no different from Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. We get the entire story campaign known from the original, as well as an additional act prepared for the needs of its PC version. Watching the action from a third-person perspective (TPP), we find ourselves on the planet Sera and take on the role of soldier Marcus Fenix. The protagonist ends up in the middle of a war between humanity and creatures emerging from the ground known as the Locust Horde.
During the gameplay, we traverse locations and accomplish tasks set before us, as well as eliminate hordes of enemies. The necessity of taking cover plays a predominant role in the game. The arsenal includes the Lancer machine gun, which has been integrated with a chainsaw. This allows to use the weapon for both long and short-range combat.
The Gears of War: Reloaded campaign can be completed solo or in cooperative mode with a second player. Additionally, the game features a competitive multiplayer mode, in which up to 8 people can play. We can play with other players both over the Internet and on a split screen.
Gears of War: Reloaded was made available as a free update to Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. The condition for receiving it was the purchase of the digital version of the first remaster before the official announcement of this production.

MKAU Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by Yasmin Noble
Gears of War: Reloaded is a nostalgic, yet dated, trek through the iconic origins of the beloved Gears series. While the game is essentially a remaster of a remaster from 2015’s Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, it’s a worthwhile introduction for more gamers looking to play on this generation of consoles.
Nexus Hub: 8.5 / 10 by Sam Aberdeen
Gears of War: Reloaded coming to PlayStation represents a big step forward for the industry, but underneath all the visual and performance tweaks is still the same immensely fun game at its core.
The Outerhaven Productions: 4.5 / 5 by Keith Mitchell
Gears of War: Reloaded breathes new life into a classic, delivering upgraded visuals, smoother performance, and all the brutal cover-shooting action that made the original legendary. From the chilling horror elements and iconic boss encounters to the witty squad banter, it proves just how well Gears of War has aged nearly 20 years later. With 4K, HDR, high frame rates, and full cross-play multiplayer, this is the best way for veterans and newcomers alike to experience the start of the saga.
