• Full cross-play spans Xbox, PlayStation and Steam with cross-progression tied to a Microsoft account, enabling shared parties and saves across platforms.
• The package touts 4K assets, a 60 FPS campaign, up to 120 FPS multiplayer, faster loads, HDR/Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, plus all original post-launch content.
• Pricing is $39.99, it is included with PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate, and owners of the digital Gears of War: Ultimate Edition before May 5, 2025 receive a free upgrade.
• Early reviews praise the visual and performance overhaul and solid multiplayer, while noting a short, dated campaign and clunky AI; only PS5 gets a physical disc release, and the global launch began at 8 a.m. PT with installs around 63–70 GB depending on platform.
