Rumor: Gears of War Collection Set to Launch on PS5 from Day One

Ever since Forza Horizon 5 hit the PS5, it feels like the floodgates have opened for Xbox games making their way to Sony’s gaming ecosystem. One of the most exciting possibilities buzzing around is the arrival of the iconic Marcus Fenix and his epic battles against the Locust Horde on PlayStation consoles. The latest whispers suggest that fans can look forward to a collection featuring the first three Gears of War games, slated for a simultaneous release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S later this year.

Reports from well-known gaming leaker eXtas1s indicate that development on a Gears of War collection is underway. The exact announcement date remains a mystery, but the collection is expected to hit multiple platforms right from the start. Adding to the excitement, the game is rumored to support cross-play, allowing gamers from PC, Xbox, and PlayStation to join forces or face off regardless of their chosen platform.

“I’ve had a tough time pinning down definitive details about the Gears Collection, but it does seem to be happening,” eXtas1s mentioned (translated by ResetEra user Rychu). “The moment the Gears Collection gets its official reveal, we’re looking at a multiplatform day-one launch. I’ll say it again, remasters of the classic Gears games will support cross-platform play right out of the gate. The only piece I couldn’t verify is whether a Switch version is in the cards, but what’s certain is the cross-platform gameplay across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.”

This isn’t the first time chatter about Gears of War on the PS5 has surfaced. Just recently, Jez Corden from Windows Central hinted that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition might make its way to Sony’s console by 2025.

As with any rumor of this nature, it’s wise to remain cautiously optimistic. Even though multiple insiders and leakers seem to be on the same page, the dynamic nature of game development means things can shift unexpectedly. Until we get an official reveal, it’s all about staying hopeful and dreaming big.
