Ever since the announcement of the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5, it feels like the floodgates have opened, allowing a wave of Xbox titles to find their way to Sony’s gaming platform. There’s been persistent chatter that Marcus Fenix is gearing up to battle the Locust Horde on PlayStation consoles this year. Fresh details suggest that this won’t just be a single game but a bundle featuring the first three Gears of War titles, slated for release on both the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at the same time.

It looks like the Gears of War series is poised to make a splash on the PS5, with the first trilogy set for a big release. As per the insights of well-known leaker eXtas1s, this collection is in the pipeline. While specific details about its announcement are still cloudy, the buzz is that it will be available across multiple platforms from the get-go. The exciting part? It’s rumored to include cross-play, meaning gamers can unite whether they’re on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation.
“The Gears Collection has been an arduous task to verify, but it appears it’s real, and I can affirm that when it finally gets announced, it will be as a multiplatform release on day one,” eXtas1s explained, as translated by ResetEra member Rychu. “Once these remasters drop, players will be able to enjoy the revamped Gears titles together, regardless of their chosen platform. However, I still can’t confirm a version for the Switch, yet cross-platform play between PC, Xbox, and PlayStation is expected.”
This isn’t the first rumbling about Gears of War heading to the PS5. Just recently, Jez Corden from Windows Central hinted that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition might make its PlayStation debut by 2025.
Like any industry buzz, it’s wise to approach this with caution. Yes, plenty of insiders seem to be echoing similar sentiments, but the nature of game development is unpredictable and subject to abrupt changes that could render any current plans obsolete. For now, until there’s an official announcement, we’re left to speculate and hope.
