Three days after launch, Gears of War: Reloaded has crossed one million players. As an enhanced version of the original, it also marks the franchise’s debut on PlayStation platforms.
With its availability on Game Pass and as a free upgrade for those who own the Ultimate Edition, those likely contribute to a significant chunk of players. On PC, Reloaded peaked at 4,819 concurrent Steam players and currently, only 53 percent of user reviews are positive, resulting in a “Mixed” reception. It also seems that split-screen co-op, previously advertised on the Steam page, isn’t actually included.
That’s not factoring in the technical issues, such as crashes from changing graphics settings and login issues with one’s Microsoft account (which doesn’t occur on the Microsoft Store version). While the latter’s status is unknown, The Coalition confirmed that start-up crashes have been fixed and players can access the Adam Fenix and Anya Stroud pre-order skins.
Stay tuned for more updates, and in the meantime, check out our review of the PS5 version.
