Ever since the news broke that Forza Horizon 5 is making its way to the PS5, it feels like a thrilling floodgate has opened, with Xbox games potentially crossing over to Sony’s gaming realm. A particularly juicy rumor has been swirling around for some time: Marcus Fenix might soon battle the Locust Horde on PlayStation consoles. Now, it appears that this arrival is actually a collection of the first three Gears of War titles, set to hit both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at the same time.

### A Gears of War Collection for PS5 is in the Pipeline
Word on the street, or rather from the well-known leaker eXtas1s, is that a Gears of War collection is currently under development. While the announcement date is still hazy, eXtas1s suggests that this collection will be available across multiple platforms from day one. Excitingly, it’s said that cross-play will be enabled, allowing gamers to team up across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
In a heartfelt quote shared by eXtas1s, as translated by ResetEra member Rychu, eXtas1s mentioned, “I’ve poured a lot of effort into verifying the existence of the Gears Collection, and it appears it’s more than just speculation. I confirm it’s poised for a multiplatform release from the get-go. When these sorts of remasters drop, players will enjoy cross-platform play simultaneously. The one thing I can’t affirm is a Switch version release, but cross-platform play on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation is definitely on the cards.”
Rumors of Gears of War gracing the PS5 aren’t new. Not too long ago, Windows Central’s Jez Corden hinted that Gears of War: Ultimate Edition might make its debut on Sony’s console by 2025.
Of course, it’s wise to approach these whispers with cautious optimism. Despite various insiders and leakers aligning their stories, the volatile nature of game development can easily shift plans unexpectedly. Until there’s an official announcement, all we can do is keep our fingers crossed and imagine the possibilities.
