According to recent rumors, Xbox might be preparing limited physical editions of Gears of War: Reloaded for both Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Earlier this month, Xbox and The Coalition unveiled this remaster of the beloved Xbox 360 classic, promising 4K resolution and 60 FPS performance, with an August 26 release date. Notably, this marks the first time a Gears of War title is coming to PlayStation, a significant milestone for Xbox's first-party franchises.

This isn't The Coalition's first attempt at remastering Gears of War. In 2014, they released Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, a 1080p remaster for Xbox One. While some fans hoped for a Halo: The Master Chief Collection-style anthology, the announcement of Reloaded—with its enhanced visuals, Xbox Game Pass availability, and PS5 debut—has generated considerable excitement.

Polish gaming site PPE recently reported that Gears of War: Reloaded will be a highlight at Xbox's June showcase, with pre-orders going live shortly after. The site also mentioned a potential $50 price point and limited physical copies for both Xbox Series X/S and PS5. However, Xbox has already confirmed a $40 price tag for non-Game Pass users, with free upgrades for Ultimate Edition owners.

Given the original game's impact on Xbox's history, a physical release makes sense, though supplies may be scarce. The August 26 launch will follow Mafia: The Old Country (August 8) and precede Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater (August 28), making it a busy month for gamers.
