The game has reworked graphics, enhanced shadows and reflections, and super-resolution anti-aliasing.

Cross-Play and Cross-Progression

The best part is that the Gears of War Reloaded remaster is going to support cross-play and cross-progression across all platforms.

Now, everyone can play together regardless of their system. While a Microsoft Account is not required to play, it is necessary for cross-progression and the complete cross-platform experience.

This ensures that your progress transfers across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Owners of the digital Gears of War: Ultimate Edition (2015) can upgrade to Reloaded for no additional charge.
