Gears of War: Reloaded topped over a million players despite a rough Steam launch. A promotional message declared "Ending the console war, one grub at a time." Microsoft reports only player counts and does not disclose copies sold, leaving PlayStation sales unknown and likely the primary revenue source. The game is available on PC and Xbox through Game Pass, and owners of Gears of War Ultimate Edition receive the new version for free. Multiplayer balance issues exist, with the Gnasher shotgun reportedly downing players at range in one shot. The remaster is largely an up-res of the original, offering a nostalgic revisit nearly two decades later.
You'll probably have noticed that, as per usual, Microsoft is only sharing the player count and not copies sold. That's frustrating because I'd love to know how many sales have been on PlayStation so far, which is also where most of money is going to come from. On PC and Xbox, players can get the game via Game Pass, and anyone who already owns Gears of War Ultimate Edition gets this new version for free.
Gears of War: Reloaded may have had a rather rough start on Steam, but it's doing well elsewhere, apparently topping over a million players. The news was shared on the official Gears of War X account, which also claimed that the game is "Ending the console war, one grub at a time." Bit of a bold claim? Probably. Putting that proclamation aside for a minute, though, it's definitely a crazy moment in history to see Gears on PlayStation.
