Alright, so here we go—dive into my unfiltered thoughts on this old classic getting a makeover. Xbox’s Gears of War: Reloaded is almost ready to crash land on a PlayStation console for the first time. Yep, you heard right. And even though it’s practically old enough to vote, the remaster’s gonna gobble up a chunk of the PS5’s memory. Seriously, why do these old games always demand so much space?
### So, uh, how big is this thing gonna be?
My go-to for download sizes is the PlayStation Game Size X account. I mean, they’re like a digital fortune teller for file sizes. They’re saying Gears of War: Reloaded is rolling in at a hefty 63.103 GB when it drops later this month. Plus, brace yourselves for a Day-1 update. You know, because nothing’s ever simple.
Getting impatient yet? If you preorder, you’re golden for an August 21 preload. That’s just five sleepless nights before the August 26 launch. Be ready to dive in at 11 a.m. ET. Just throwing it out there that it’s $39.99 if you wanna grab it early. Sounds like a spontaneous dinner date—or maybe not.
Okay, the real deal: Marcus Fenix’s endless war with the Locust finally hits PlayStation. We’re talking remastered glory, with up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second. Cross-play, cross-progression—it’s got all the bells and whistles. Oh, and no loading screens in Campaign, which, let’s face it, is a blessing and a curse. Those bathroom sprint opportunities will be missed.
Here’s something funny: As the 20th anniversary looms in 2026, I can’t help but think about how this series is like an old friend. You know, the type who’s always there when you’re up for a nostalgia trip? Gears of War: Reloaded is about letting more players experience that magic. It’s like they’re opening up a vintage bottle of wine—to more folks this time.
Rumors have been doing the rounds like whispers in a high school hallway. At one point, people thought we’d get a whole Gears of War Collection on PS5, covering the first three games. Crazy how rumors can get, right? Anyway—ah, there we go, drifting off again.
