Gears of War: Reloaded has fans pumped up, as they get to re-experience this iconic shooter with even better graphics and visuals. The fact that these devs are launching this with both the original campaign and online multiplayer is great, since fans love both of these modes. It’s also the first time this game is coming to PS5 and Steam, so fans have expectations.

Because Reloaded is coming to other systems outside of Xbox, fans want to know if there will be cross-play in this game. After all, gamers don’t own the same console, and having the option to play with friends from another console is cool. This feature brings players closer together and that’s a marvelous thing.

Does Gears of War: Reloaded have cross-play?

Xbox confirmed early that Reloaded will have cross-play at launch, ensuring that gamers with these systems will be able to play with each other.

Confirming this early was a smart move, since multiplayer was one of the reasons that Gears of War became popular in the first place. The fast-paced gameplay and smooth online were good on Xbox 360 and even Xbox One. Now all we can do is hope that translates into a really great experience across all systems when Reloaded comes out.

Does Gears of War: Reloaded have cross-progression?

Yes, players will be able to transfer all of their progress to their desired system. This means Xbox Series players can move their progress to a PS5, if that’s what they want.

Because consoles don’t last forever, there might come a time when your PC or Xbox breaks down. If that ever happens, it’s good to know that players will be able to keep their progress in Gears of War: Reloaded whenever that happens. These options are vital and it’s good to see them.

How do you activate cross-play and cross-progression in Gears of War: Reloaded?

Players will need to make a Microsoft account in order to gain access to cross-progression. Cross-play will be free for all users, but a Microsoft account will let you invite friends from other consoles to games on your system.
