The long-rumored Gears of War Collection is reportedly nearing its release, with multiple sources indicating an early to mid-August launch. According to insider reports, the collection has already been loaded onto the PlayStation Store’s backend, suggesting an imminent announcement. The remastered collection is said to be PS5 Pro Enhanced but will focus solely on the campaign, with no multiplayer PvP included. However, details regarding co-op functionality remain unclear.
Rumors surrounding a Gears of War remaster have persisted for years, but recent reports suggest Microsoft plans to officially unveil it during the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase in June. The move appears to be part of a broader effort to revive the franchise ahead of Gears of War: E-Day, the newly announced prequel set for 2026.
While it remains unknown which games will be included in the collection, it is expected to feature at least the original trilogy, and possibly Gears of War: Judgment. If these reports hold true, this will mark the first time Gears of War has been available on a PlayStation platform. The decision to exclude PvP multiplayer aligns with recent remaster trends, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered and Mass Effect Legendary Edition, which prioritized single-player content.
With Microsoft reportedly delaying Gears of War: E-Day to 2026—potentially aligning with the franchise’s 20th anniversary—the remastered collection could serve as a way to reintroduce the series to both longtime fans and a new audience. If accurate, an official announcement could be expected in the coming months.
