Gears of War: Reloaded – PC System Requirements

Oh wow, guess who’s back? Yep, Delta Squad. And they’re bringing Gears of War: Reloaded into the spotlight again. Xbox and The Coalition decided it was time for a glow-up, and now we’re talking modern gaming hardware jazzing up the old classic. Crazy, right?

First things first, launching on Steam this time. Surprise! But hold up, your PC will need a bit more muscle thanks to those ambitious visuals. It’s like the game chugged a protein shake or something. Anyway—no, wait—let’s dig into those PC specs before I meander away.

PC Requirements — Look Out!

Honestly, not gonna sugarcoat it, you’ll need some recent gear to run this darling. Higher specs, you know the drill. I swear, if you’ve played anything in the past five years, you’re probably set. I’m pretty shocked if you aren’t.

Here’s a quick rundown (seriously, swipe for more deets because lists get tedious fast):

Minimum:

• OS: Windows 10-19H2
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 (Four Cores) or Intel i5 Skylake
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
• Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 480 / RX 5300 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 / 1050 Ti or Intel Arc A380
• DX: Version 12
• Storage: 70 GB free space

These feel so… reasonable, right? Maybe that’s suspicious. Hmm.

Recommended:

• OS: Windows 10 – 22H2 or Windows 11 – 24H2
• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 (Six Cores) or Intel i5 Coffee Lake
• Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5600 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / GTX 1660 Ti / RTX 2070

Bumped up a bit, isn’t it? But seven-year-old GPUs? Smells like accessibility to me.

Checking Your PC Specs — Don’t Panic!

So, can’t remember if you ever upgraded that RAM? No sweat. Pro tip: hit the Windows taskbar, type dxdiag, and voilà, everything you need to know pops up. It’s like a horoscope but for your computer. And less cryptic. Maybe.

Prepping for the Show — Considering an Upgrade?

Look, if you’re under specs or just want that ultra-smooth experience, maybe consider sprucing up your PC. Check out guides and tips online, but remember: don’t blame me if your wallet runs for cover.

Handheld Gaming? Surprise, Surprise!

It’s a handheld world now, I guess. Did you know you can run Gears of War: Reloaded on handhelds like the Steam Deck or the ROG Ally? Heck, I sampled it on that shiny new Xbox Ally X at Summer Game Fest 2025. Ran like a dream—smoothest curb stomping I’ve seen in ages!

The Grand Release

Mark the calendars: Aug. 26, 2025. Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Cloud, Windows PC, PS5—you name it. And yeah, Day 1 on Game Pass. How’s that for instant gratification? Digital buyers can hop between Xbox and PC easily, like it’s no big deal. Xbox Play Anywhere, doing its thing.

Anyway, there you have it. Gears of War: Reloaded is geared up—pun unavoidable. Happy gaming, folks!
