Gears of War Collection Reportedly Heading to PlayStation 5
Microsoft’s iconic Xbox franchise may break platform exclusivity with rumored trilogy collection release.

Microsoft‘s landmark Gears of War franchise might soon make its debut on PlayStation platforms, according to new industry reports. The company is reportedly developing a Gears of War Trilogy Collection that would mark the series’ first appearance on a Sony gaming system.
Spanish-language content creator eXtas1s has indicated that the collection will feature remastered versions of the first three Gears of War games. The package is reportedly planned for simultaneous release across multiple platforms, including Xbox Series consoles, PlayStation 5, and PC, with cross-platform play functionality integrated across all versions.
This potential release aligns with Microsoft’s recent shift toward multi-platform publishing. The company has already brought previously Xbox-exclusive titles like Sea of Thieves and Grounded to competing platforms, suggesting a broader strategy focused on expanding beyond traditional console boundaries.
The collection’s reported cross-platform functionality would allow players across different systems to participate in the series’ multiplayer modes together, modernizing the classic franchise alongside contemporary titles such as Call of Duty and Fortnite. While speculation exists about a potential Nintendo Switch version, no concrete information has emerged regarding its development.
Industry response to these reports has been mixed, with some viewing it as a natural evolution of Microsoft’s gaming strategy, while others express concern about the diminishing value of Xbox exclusivity. Earlier insider reports had specifically mentioned Gears of War: Ultimate Edition as a candidate for multi-platform release, lending additional credibility to these new claims about the trilogy collection.
