Overview

  • The server-based release goes live simultaneously at 15:00 UTC (8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET), and time-zone workarounds will not unlock the game early.
  • PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC versions support cross-play and cross-progression, split-screen co-op, HDR and Dolby features, with multiplayer targeting up to 120fps.
  • Digital owners of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition receive Reloaded at no cost, preloads are available (about 63–70 GB depending on platform), and physical copies are sold only for PS5.
  • Early reviews praise the sharp visual upgrade and smooth performance but note dated design traits, stiff AI and a thin story that reflect the 2006 origins.
  • The game’s credits present teams from Reloaded, the 2015 Ultimate Edition and the 2006 original separately, preserving attribution across all versions.
