- Gears of War: Reloaded has reached 1 million players in total.
- This figure counts players on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Game Pass.
- The team also says that the console wars are now over, thanks to big multiplatform releases like Gears of War: Reloaded.
Xbox recently brought over one of its biggest and oldest first-party IPs to PlayStation with Gears of War: Reloaded. In addition to revamping the graphics and adding several quality-of-life features to the title, this re-release reintroduced the series’ highly acclaimed online multiplayer.
Just four days after its initial release, Gears of War: Reloaded has now hit a major milestone. The team has also made an interesting statement about the console wars.
Why it matters: Both PlayStation and Xbox have shifted away from exclusivity. In fact, Gears of War and Helldivers 2 were released on the opposite platforms on the same day.
Celebrating this milestone, the official Gears of War Twitter account posted an image confirming that the game had reached 1 million players. This player count comprises Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, and even Game Pass.
The numbers were not the most impressive on Steam, but all put together, Gears of War: Reloaded seems to be doing well for a franchise that went six years without a mainline release.
To celebrate the moment, the team also noted that this release has contributed to ending the console war. Helldivers 2 launching on the Xbox Series S|X has done the same, with both games bridging the gap between PlayStation and Xbox gamers.
Ending the console war, one grub at a time.
Fans can look forward to more multiplatform releases from both PlayStation and Xbox moving forward. Perhaps PlayStation will port one of its flagship IPs to Xbox at some point as well.
Moving forward, Gears of War E-Day is expected to launch on PS5 next year. One of the trophies/achivements in Gears of War Reloaded also suggests that this is the case.
What do you make of the team’s statement? Do you agree? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
