More than one million players have tried out Gears of War Reloaded following its release across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC earlier this week.
According to the developer, this milestone means the title is “ending the console war, one grub at a time”. We’re not so sure about that.

The player number has likely been accelerated by free upgrades on platforms where the franchise has existed before, as well as its inclusion on Xbox Game Pass. But we have to imagine full-price PS5 sales are strong, as the series is making its PlayStation debut on Sony’s system.
At the time of writing, on the US PS Store, the remaster is currently ranked 10th on the best-sellers list, behind only Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and evergreen releases such as Roblox, Fortnite, and Madden NFL 26.

It’d certainly be interesting to see a breakdown of sales across all systems, but we’re unlikely to ever get that level of granular data outside of estimates.
