Microsoft and The Coalition announced Gears of War: Reloaded will be coming to Xbox Series, Xbox PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam, and PS5 on August 26. The game is essentially an enhanced version of Gears of War Ultimate Edition, which was released over 10 years ago.

The game will support 4K and 120 FPS, along with cross-play and cross-progression for its multiplayer mode. While it’s exciting that Gears of War will be coming to PlayStation, Xbox fans who previously owned Gears of War Ultimate Edition will get a nice surprise.

How To Get Gears of War: Reloaded for Free

Those who owned Gears of War Ultimate Edition digitally on Xbox will receive a free upgrade to Gears of War: Reloaded. If you owned only the physical version, you would not be able to upgrade to Reloaded.

Although Xbox games are going multiplatform, there seem to be benefits coming to Xbox console owners. Now that more of their games can be played on other platforms.

If you didn’t own Gears of War Ultimate Edition previously, luckily, Gears of War: Reloaded will be $39.99, which is half the price of what future Xbox games will be.

Recently, we saw Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle come to PS5, and they were leading the PS Store pre-orders in the United States. Other Xbox games, including Sea of Thieves, received a large amount of sales on PlayStation 5, reaching well over 1 million sales in their first few months.
