Gears of War: Reloaded launched globally on modern platforms, including PlayStation systems, on August 26. Developers The Coalition and Microsoft confirmed the title surpassed one million users within its debut week.

“Bridging the console divide, one Locust at a time,” the studio stated in a social media update. “We’re grateful for reaching this milestone with your support.“

While impressive, the figure likely includes Game Pass subscribers rather than representing full-purchase sales alone. The accessibility offered by Microsoft’s subscription service has expanded the franchise’s reach.

August 26 marked a pivotal shift in platform exclusivity, as longstanding PlayStation and Xbox titles became cross-platform. For the first time, PlayStation audiences engaged with Gears’ iconic campaigns, while Xbox users gained access to Helldivers 2’s galactic conflicts.

Interestingly, PlayStation 5 Pro currently offers the premium experience for the remaster, outperforming both Xbox Series X and base PS5 editions in graphical resolution and frame rate optimization.

Future entries in the series include the recently revealed prequel Gears of War E-Day, exploring events before the original trilogy. Additionally, Hollywood adaptations are underway, with a film adaptation targeting a 2027 theatrical release.
