Gears of War: Reloaded is Out Today – Here’s Everything You Need to Know

Summary

  • Gears of War: Reloaded is out today for $39.99 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox Cloud Gaming, Steam and PlayStation 5, and is available via PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate.
  • The original Gears of War returns, faithfully remastered, natively optimized for more platforms than ever before, with full cross-play and cross-platform support.
  • The Coalition Studio Head Mike Crump looks back on the history of the first game, and its lasting legacy.
  • Xbox players that purchased Gears of War Ultimate Edition (Digital) before May 5, 2025 will receive Gears of War: Reloaded as a free upgrade.

It’s finally time to jump into the action in Gears of War: Reloaded, out on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, PlayStation 5 and Steam today. For many of us, it’s a welcome return to one of gaming’s most iconic stories, but for many more, it’s the first time you’ll be stepping into the extra-large boots of Marcus and Dom. We’re thrilled that so many new players can experience their story for the first time ever – and whether you’re a seasoned veteran of the Locust War or picking up a Lancer for the first time – here’s everything you need to know, plus some exclusive extra insight from inside The Coalition.

The Classic Returns, Better than Ever

It’s been almost 20 years since Gears of War first made its way onto the Xbox 360, and the release of Reloaded is just the start of how the studio plans to honor the milestone, says Mike Crump, Studio Head at The Coalition.

“We really felt that bringing back the game that started it all – and bringing it to more players and more platforms than ever before – was the perfect way to kick off a celebration of 20 years of Gears,” Crump adds. “I’m jealous of everyone who’s about to experience Gears for the first time because I remember what an amazing experience that was!”

In Gears of War: Reloaded, every aspect of the original game has been brought to modern standards – art, audio, cinematics… everything – to deliver a new, enhanced experience. With stunning 4K resolution, assets and textures, a 60 FPS campaign with lightning-fast load times and 120 FPS in multiplayer, this the ultimate way to play Gears of War, and it’ll feel spectacular no matter how many times you’ve experienced this story before.

“It’s always fascinating to see the difference between what you remember your favourite games looking like and what they actually looked like,” Crump says. “Gears of War set a new bar for graphical fidelity in 2006, and that’s what I remember about it – being in awe of how great it looked. Of course, the bar has moved a lot higher since then. Upgrading and enhancing such a beloved game for today’s generation of hardware has been a labor of love for The Coalition.”

Squad Up Across Platforms

With so many new platforms joining the fight, Gears of War: Reloaded is built to support squads without restriction. Cross-play functionality means that players across Xbox, PlayStation and Steam can party up together, whether its to take on the Campaign in two-player co-op mode, or team up in Versus Multiplayer, which supports up to 8 players, providing all party members are signed into a Microsoft account.

Not only does signing in with a Microsoft account allow for cross-platform parties, it also enables cross-progression. Allowing your Campaign and multiplayer progress to carry across devices for a seamless experience wherever you play. It also allows you to send invites and play with friends across platforms — like Xbox to PlayStation or Steam to Xbox.

With the 20th anniversary of Gears of War around the corner, we couldn’t help but ask Crump to share one of his favourite Gears moments (and we’ve kept it spoiler-free).

“The terror of encountering the Berserker will be forever etched into my memory,” says Crump. “The way she’s introduced is an ‘oh shit’ moment for the ages!”

THE TAKEOVER PACK HITS UNDISPUTED ADDING AUSSIE LEGEND TIM TSYZU TO THE ROSTER

27th August 2025. Steel City Interactive and PLAION have unveiled The Takeover Pack, a premium DLC for Undisputed headlined by world-class showman Teofimo Lopez.

Known for slick counterpunching, quick combinations, and athletic movement, Teofimo Lopez is a dynamic seasoned two‑division world champion. From defeating Lomachenko to capturing junior welterweight world titles, he’s built a name as a flashy and compelling fighter. Lopez got his nickname “The Takeover” from his explosive rise in the boxing world and his bold, confident approach to the sport.

The Takeover Pack sees all new rivalry and legacy joining the Undisputed roster:

  • Emanuel Augustus, also known as “The Drunken Master,” was a talented boxer from the late ’90s to the early 2010s. Known for his very untraditional, almost erratic fighting style, making him a challenging opponent.
  • Janibek Alimkhanuly is a highly skilled and dangerous middleweight boxer from Kazakhstan, known for his impressive amateur background and rapid rise in the professional ranks.
  • Sebastian Fundora is an American born professional boxer; his parents are from two countries with rich boxing history Cuba and Mexico. He quickly gained attention in the super welterweight division for his unique combination of height, reach, and fighting style. Fundora stands tall at 6′6″, making him the tallest active boxing world champion, earning him the nickname “Towering Inferno.”
  • Tim Tsyzu is an Australian professional boxer and rapidly becoming one of the top stars in the super welterweight division. Despite being the son of legendary former light-welterweight world champion, Kostya Tszyu, he’s carved out his own name in the sport with a blend of technical skills, power, and a relentless fighting style.
  • Diego Corrales was one of the most exciting and talented boxers of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Known for his warrior mentality, explosive power, and willingness to engage in dramatic, back-and-forth battles, Corrales became a legend in the sport, due to his unforgettable fights that left boxing fans with lasting memories.

The Takeover Pack also delivers a new Apparel Pack including brand new in-game attire for Canelo Alvarez, Terri Harper, Kell Brook, Roy Jones Jr., and Daniel Jacobs.

This new drop follows the Mexican Monster, Iron and Steel and Problem Child Packs, further building one of the most expansive rosters in any fighting game and reaffirming Undisputed’s commitment to authenticity.

The Takeover Pack is available to download now. Undisputed is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X|S and PC Steam.

Expect the Unexpected: Train Sim World 6 Launches This September with Random Events Plus New Routes & Trains

KENT, England Aug. 26, 2025 Train Sim World 6 is coming! Following the initial reveal of the title in July, today Dovetail Games hosted the Dovetail Direct showcase, officially announcing all the shiny new trains, routes and features that train fans can look forward to when the game arrives. Train Sim World 6 launches on Sept. 30, 2025 (Sept. 25 for Deluxe/Special Edition pre-orders), for Windows PC, PlayStation, and Xbox systems and is available to pre-order now!

This year, players can “Expect the Unexpected” with a key new feature: the introduction of toggleable random events and train faults to ensure no two services ever feel the same. From signal delays to speed restrictions, players must stay alert to overcome unpredictable challenges. The game will guide players through resolving these unpredictable events, to get back under way and on to their destinations.

Continuing the “unexpected” theme are new routes and trains for the series. In the USA, it’s off to the east coast with NJ TRANSIT® through the New Jersey suburbs in both ageing and modern traction. UK players can experience the thrill of coastal running along the Riviera Line, often described as one of the most beautiful stretches of railway in Britain. This route also marks the long-awaited return of the GWR brand to the series. In Europe, players can drive beyond the horizon between Dresden and Leipzig, Europe’s largest railway station, with a full variety of freight, passenger, high-speed and shunting services available.

For the first time, brand-new trains will be available in the Deluxe Edition for all three routes: the much-requested CrossCountry Voyager, dual-power ALP-45 locomotive and hefty BR 294 shunter. The Special Edition includes all content from the Standard and Deluxe Editions, plus five back catalogue routes and their respective trains spanning a wider selection of countries, including Austria, the Netherlands and Wales.

Adding to the immersion is the full implementation of passenger and platform announcements, with station stops and train departures audibly declared in the three core routes.

Matt Peddlesden, Train Sim World 6’s Executive Producer, said, “We’ve been keen to listen to players in our recent surveys and feedback to give them the features and content they’ve been asking for. Random events and audible announcements have been at the top of their list for some time, and we can’t wait for players to experience them in new routes and trains that they’ve also been requesting.”

Players will be able to try Train Sim World 6 for free with the game’s Free Starter Pack, available from launch until November 11, 2025. This includes steam, diesel and electric locomotives within the Training Center demo route, along with tutorials and tasks to complete.

In addition, today’s showcase announced that the series will also be exploring new horizons with several future Train Sim World 6 add-ons, covering routes in new countries such as Portugal and Czechia, as well as a new route in the USA and a first look at gameplay for the Japanese Tadami Line. As usual, players will be able to bring their existing collection of routes and trains over to Train Sim World 6.
