Xbox is finally bringing the original Gears of War to modern consoles, all remastered with support for multiplayer and much higher frame rates and resolution than the original. Gears of War: Reloaded is only a few hours from its launch on platforms including PC, Xbox Series S|X, and PlayStation 5.
Here are the release times for Gears of War: Reloaded, pre-load details, and when you can expect to start playing in your region.

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.
