I don’t know about you, but I spent a fair share of my weekend playing the Gears of War: Reloaded beta. While I was a little rusty at first, before long, it was like riding a bike, reacquainting myself with how the game plays. It was like traveling back in time to 2006.
This is no doubt a feeling Microsoft is hoping to capture when Gears of War: Reloaded releases on August 26th, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.

9 Xbox Game Pass Fodder Games That Are Surprisingly Good
They may not be the games you got a subscription for, but they’re pretty good nonetheless.
Yes, it’s still weird to talk about a once exclusive franchise like Gears of War on a Sony console, but that’s the world we live in today. Phil Spencer and the Xbox team have made it abundantly clear that their strategy is to release games on as many platforms as possible.
While the PS5 will get all the headlines, we can confirm another platform for which Gears of War: Reloaded will not just be available later this year but is now officially verified.
Gears of War: Reloaded Is Now Steam Deck Verified Ahead of Its Release
Here’s what it means for a game to be Steam Deck Verified:
- All functionality is accessible when using the default controller configuration.
- This game shows Steam Deck controller icons.
- In-game interface text is legible on Steam Deck.
- This game’s default graphics configuration performs well on Steam Deck.
For the optimal experience on Steam Deck, it’s recommended that you only play verified games. Some titles, such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, are playable on the Steam Deck console, but since they’re not verified, the experience won’t necessarily be optimal. That’s why it’s best to stick with games that are officially verified.
