Ever since the buzz started about Forza Horizon 5 hitting the PS5, it’s as if the floodgates have opened, and every Xbox game is eyeing a spot on Sony’s gaming line-up. Lately, there’s been quite the chatter that Marcus Fenix might bring his iconic battle against the Locust Horde to PlayStation players this year. However, recent whispers suggest that what we might actually see is a collection featuring the first three Gears of War games, slated for a simultaneous release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
### Gears of War Collection Ready to Make Its PS5 Debut
A well-connected leaker, eXtas1s, has dropped some intriguing hints about this Gears of War collection being underway. While they’re not entirely sure when the official announcement will be made, they assure us that the launch will be across multiple platforms. Excitingly, this release is expected to support cross-play, so gamers on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation can all jump into the action together.
In a candid revelation, eXtas1s explained (with the help of a translation by ResetEra member Rychu) that verifying the Gears Collection has taken quite some effort. “It seems that it exists, and I can confirm it’ll be announced as a multi-platform title once the cat is out of the bag,” they explained. “These remasters of the classic Gears games will support cross-platform play, allowing everyone to dive in together. I haven’t pinned down any details regarding a potential Switch version, but players across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation are in for a treat.”
This isn’t the first whisper of Gears of War possibly heading to PS5. Not too long ago, Jez Corden from Windows Central speculated that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition might find its way to Sony fans by 2025.
As with all rumors, it’s wise to treat these hints with caution. While various insiders seem to echo each other’s hints, game development is a dynamic process, and plans can shift unexpectedly. Until there’s an official reveal, all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best.
