1 Million players have played Gears of War: Reloaded since its multi-platform launch on August 26, which included PC, Xbox Series X/S, and for the first time ever, PS5. This event marks the end of the Xbox console exclusivity for the well-loved franchise and initiates a new phase in its history.
Initially released in May 2025, “Gears of War: Reloaded” is a reimagined third-person cover shooter game, serving as an update to the original “Gears of War” from 2006. This latest version represents another revamp of the first game, having been previously enhanced for the collection titled “Gears of War: Ultimate Edition” in 2015. Since its release, “Gears of War: Reloaded,” focusing on Marcus Fenix, has garnered substantial critical acclaim, earning an average OpenCritic score of 81 from 52 reviews at the time of writing. Lately, it’s been announced that the game’s player base is also expanding rapidly.
Gears of War: Reloaded Races Past 1 Million Players in 3 Days
On Twitter, the official account for the Gears of War series announced that more than a million users had played Gears of War: Reloaded in just three days following its updated release for current-generation consoles by The Coalition. This total includes players across console, PC, and Xbox Game Pass, where it launched as a day-one title. With the upcoming release of the main game in the series since 2019’s Gears 5, titled Gears of War E-Day, there’s been a renewed wave of interest in this IP.
The remastered game, Gears of War: Reloaded, reaching 1 million players quickly implies that the initial game’s popularity might still be substantial after nearly two decades. Notably, this release signifies the franchise’s introduction to PlayStation, so a large portion of these players could be PS5 users experiencing the Xbox-owned series for the first time. Additionally, it’s possible that a considerable number of Gears of War: Reloaded players are Game Pass subscribers, as the shooter has been accessible at no additional cost since its launch as part of the membership benefits.
After the launch of “Gears of War: Reloaded” on PS5, there has been an increase in talks suggesting that future installments of “Gears of War” may also appear on Sony’s competing platform, Xbox. From the original trilogy of the franchise released for Xbox 360 to the upcoming main game, there is a growing belief that more “Gears of War” games might eventually find their way onto PlayStation consoles.
