Gears of War Reloaded Pricing and Release Date

Gears of War: Reloaded releases on August 26, 2025, for $39.99 SRP on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, PlayStation 5, and Steam. It’s also coming to Xbox Game Pass, and if you have the subscription, you’ll get it day one.

Gears of War Reloaded Pre-Load

Currently, Gears of War: Reloaded is only available to pre-load on Xbox consoles, Microsoft Store, and PS5 users. It isn’t available to pre-load on Steam, at least not yet. With only 18 hours to launch, as of writing, I doubt it will be available for Steam.

Speaking of, you can check out the system requirements and PC-specific features and learn more about its crossplay and multiplayer details.
