On August 26, "Gears of War: Reinstalled" landed on PC and contemporary hosting platforms, including PS5.This work is a high-definition replica of "Gears of War 1", and it is also the first time the series has landed on the PS platform after 19 years of exclusive Xbox consoles.It is worth mentioning that August 26 is still the day when Sony releases the game "Jedi 2" to be launched on Xbox.
Just three days after its release, the official announcement of "Gears of War" announced that "Gears of War: Reloaded" ended the "Console War", with more than 1 million players, thanks to players for their support.
Although the official did not clarify the player data of each platform of "Gears of War: Reinstalling", most of the 1 million data obviously comes from Game Pass, which means that Xbox Series X|S should still be the main game platform.
However, according to the test, the best console platform for playing "Gears of War: Reinstalled" in 2025 is actually the Sony console PS5 Pro.
Previously, foreign media Digital Foundry tested that "Gears of War: Reinstall" had VRR problems on Xbox Series consoles, resulting in performance not as good as PS consoles.
According to Digital Foundry, "Gears of War: Reinstall" can stabilize 60 frames on PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S. Only when players want to try 120 frames will they feel the difference on different platform consoles.If you want to have both picture quality and performance, then the PS5 Pro is the preferred platform.
"However, the PS5 Pro has unparalleled image quality, with the 60FPS mode now running at 1620p resolution and being improved to 4K, while the 120Hz refresh rate maintains the 1440p image quality of other hosts' 60FPS mode."
Linneman added that the “real highlight” of the PS5 Pro experience is that The Coalition uses PlayStation’s PSSR technology, not AMD’s FSR.Although PSSR is not foolproof to bring a better experience, it did it in the game "Gears of War: Reloading".
"In this case, the combination of slightly higher pixel count plus PSSR produces significantly better overall picture quality on the PS5 Pro, which makes it easy to stand out among a wide range of consoles."
