Ever since Forza Horizon 5 was announced for the PS5, it seems like the floodgates have opened for Xbox games making their way to Sony’s platform. The latest buzz is around Marcus Fenix and his battle with the Locust Horde possibly landing on PlayStation consoles. Rumor has it that this isn’t just any release; it’s a collection featuring the first three Gears of War games, set to launch on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at the same time.
### A Gears of War Collection Set to Make Waves on PS5
Reports from the credible leaker, eXtas1s, suggest that a Gears of War collection is indeed in the pipeline. While the exact announcement date remains a mystery, the word is that it will roll out across multiple platforms right from the start. Notably, it appears that this collection will support cross-play, enabling enthusiasts to enjoy the experience together on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
In a conversation translated by ResetEra user Rychu, eXtas1s revealed, “I’ve had a challenging time confirming the Gears Collection’s existence, but it certainly looks like it’s real. Once the Gears Collection is announced, which could be anytime, it will be introduced as a day-one multiplatform release. I’ll say it again: when these remasters are announced, you’ll be able to play cross-platform right off the bat. The only detail I’m unsure about is whether it will launch on the Switch, but cross-play will undoubtedly be available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.”
This isn’t the first time Gears of War’s arrival on PS5 has sparked rumors. Just recently, Jez Corden of Windows Central speculated that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition might be hitting Sony’s console in 2025.
As with any speculation, it’s wise to approach this news with a healthy dose of skepticism. While various insiders seem to be echoing similar sentiments, the nature of game development is unpredictable, and plans can shift quickly. Until something official drops, it remains the stuff of dreams.
