Alright, so here’s the gist. Xbox’s Gears of War: Reloaded is finally sneaking its way onto a PlayStation console. Crazy, right? Feels like this game has been around forever, and now it’s gonna hog a sizable chunk of your PS5’s storage. But hey, nostalgia’s heavy, I guess.
So, what’s the real deal with this Gears of War: Reloaded thing on PS5? Some PlayStation Game Size X account—don’t ask me how reliable they are, but they haven’t steered wrong yet—says it’ll take up about 63.103 GB. And yeah, there’s a Day-1 update. Because of course there is.
Mark your calendars, folks. If you’re one of those eager beavers preordering, you can start downloading on August 21. Which is like five days before it actually drops on August 26. Why five days? Maybe it’s a cosmic joke. The game goes live at 11 a.m. ET, if you care about that kind of thing. And yeah, it’s sitting pretty at $39.99 on the PS Store.
Now, here’s the kicker—Marcus Fenix and his Locust brawls are busting onto PlayStation. The remaster can hit up to 4K and 120 FPS. Think cross-play and cross-progression, like some wild gaming buffet. Oh, and VRR and no loading screens in Campaign. Extra nice with a shiny PS5 Pro boost.
“As the big 20-year anniversary for Gears looms in 2026, we’re all getting a bit sentimental,” someone in the announcement quipped—or that’s how it felt, anyway. “It’s about stories, friendships, moments… you know, the works. Opening the door wider now means more people join the ride.”
Rumor mill’s been turning for ages, though. There were whispers of a Gears of War Collection for PS5, snagging the first trio of mainline games. True or not, here we are, diving into this remastered chaos on PlayStation soil.
