Ever since the buzz around the PS5 version of Forza Horizon 5, there’s been a sense that Xbox’s exclusive titles might soon find a home on Sony’s consoles. The latest chatter, which has been making the rounds for some time, suggests that Marcus Fenix could join the ranks of PlayStation’s lineup by the end of this year. The rumored release isn’t just a solo entry but a comprehensive collection of the first three Gears of War games, set to launch concurrently on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
### Gears of War Collection Set to Hit PS5, Featuring Original Trilogy
According to insider eXtas1s, a Gears of War collection is apparently in the pipeline. While the exact timing of its announcement remains under wraps, the leaker claims the game will be available across multiple platforms from the get-go. Excitingly, this edition will include cross-play, letting gamers on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation connect and compete seamlessly.
In eXtas1s’ words, “I can discuss the Gears Collection because confirming its existence wasn’t easy, but it seems to be real. Once it’s officially announced—though I’m not certain when that will be—it’s expected to be a day-one multiplatform release. I’d like to emphasize: these remastered versions of the classic Gears games are intended to facilitate cross-platform play, allowing fans to engage across different systems. The only aspect I haven’t nailed down is whether it will launch on the Switch, but cross-platform compatibility should cover PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.” This information was shared through a translation provided by ResetEra’s Rychu.
This isn’t the first time Gears of War has been linked to a PS5 release. Earlier this month, Jez Corden from Windows Central mentioned the possibility of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition arriving on Sony’s console by 2025.
As is the case with all unconfirmed reports, it’s wise to remain skeptical until an official statement is made. Even though various sources appear to echo each other’s findings, the nature of game development is ever-changing, and plans can shift at a moment’s notice. Until there’s a confirmed announcement, it remains an intriguing possibility to look forward to.
