“As we approach the 20th anniversary of Gears Of War in 2026, we’re reflecting on what this franchise means. It’s about the stories we’ve told, the friendships we’ve built, and the unforgettable moments we’ve shared together. With Gears Of War: Reloaded, we’re opening that door to more players than ever.”

Earlier this year it was rumoured Gears Of War and a number of other previously exclusive Xbox games would be released on “rival” platforms. It comes after Xbox boss Phil Spencer made exclusive titles such as Hi-Fi Rush and Sea Of Thieves available for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch last year as part of his “vision for the future”.
“I’m going to learn about our partnership with other platforms. I’m going to learn about what happens with our players,” he said at the time. “I don’t think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform.” Reports say that Halo and Microsoft Flight Simulator games could also make the leap to PlayStation later this year.
Speaking about the first wave of Xbox-exclusives coming to other consoles, Spencer said he was “pleased” with the results but, as of November 2024, claimed it was “too soon” to make a decision about Halo. “I do not see red lines in our portfolio that say ‘thou must not’,” he added.
In other news, Rockstar has finally announced the release date for GTA 6 but fans aren’t excited about having to wait another 12 months.
