Gears of War: Reloaded is a remastered edition available on Game Pass, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. It builds on Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and includes improved textures and extra content from the PC port of the original. The remaster adds 4K/120FPS support for multiplayer, improved shadows, and full crossplay and cross-progression across platforms. Running the game on PS5 produced some oddities, including Xbox profile imagery appearing in menus and prompts showing PlayStation button icons for formerly Xbox-specific inputs. The Active Reload mechanic uses R1 on PlayStation, producing a dissonant feel for series veterans.
Gears of War: Reloaded is a remastered version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, which is itself a remastered spin on the original Xbox 360 Gears of War game, complete with improved textures and extra content that was exclusive to the barely-talked-about PC port of the first game. Wowza, what a lineage! Anyway, this latest remastering of the original Gears game that started it all sports some new improvements, including 4K/120FPS support for multiplayer, improved shadows, and full crossplay and cross-progression across all platforms.
Loading up Gears of War: Reloaded on my PS5 was strange enough to begin with, but then I hopped into the game and linked my Xbox account and saw that my Xbox profile picture appeared in the menu instead of my PlayStation profile pic. Odd! Then I started playing, and Gears of War prompted me to hit triangle to look at something instead of the Y button.
