The refreshed version of the classic game Gears of War: Reloaded is now out for players on the PlayStation 5, marking its first appearance on this console. The release of the game brings the popular story to a new audience after nearly two decades as an Xbox exclusive.
This updated version, created by The Coalition and released by Xbox Game Studios, offers improved pictures in 4K and smoother action at up to 120 frames per second.
It includes the full original story of Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago fighting the Locust, plus extra content like new levels and multiplayer options. The game costs $39.99 and is also available through Xbox Game Pass, with physical copies offered for PS5 buyers.
Some players have noted early issues, like missing parts of the story or uneven controls and the game is crashing, based on comments found on social media, though these could be fixed with updates. Others celebrate the chance to play this beloved tale on PS5, especially with features like playing with friends across different systems.
The release has stirred mixed reactions, with excitement tempered by concerns about its readiness, but it’s a significant step for the game’s wider reach.
