Since the exciting announcement of a PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5, it seems that Xbox games may be making their way to Sony’s gaming platform. Recent rumors suggest that the iconic Marcus Fenix may be bringing his battle with the Locust Horde to PlayStation consoles this year. However, it appears that instead of a single game, a collection of the first three Gears of War entries will be launching for both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S simultaneously.
A Gears of War collection featuring the first three games set for PS5 release
According to well-known leaker eXtas1s, a Gears of War collection is currently in development. While there is uncertainty surrounding the announcement date, it is rumored to be a multiplatform release. The game is said to feature cross-play functionality, allowing players to enjoy the game together across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
“I can talk about Gears Collection because [the] Gears Collection has cost me a lot to corroborate its existence, but it seems that it exists, and I can confirm that at the moment in which Gears Collection is announced, which I don’t know when it will be, but it will be announced as a multiplatform release from day one,” said eXtas1s (as translated by ResetEra member Rychu). “I repeat again. When these kinds of remasters are announced, remasters of the old Gears games are going to be able to be cross-platform [allowing players to] play simultaneously. The only thing I haven’t been able to confirm is the launch of a Switch version, but it can be played cross-platform on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.”
While rumors of Gears of War coming to PS5 have circulated before, with sources like Windows Central’s Jez Corden mentioning a potential release in 2025, it’s important to take all speculation with a grain of salt. Despite numerous leakers supporting each other’s claims, the landscape of game development is ever-evolving, and plans can change at any moment. Until an official announcement is made, we can only speculate and hope for the best.
