Gears of War is one of the most iconic Xbox series, spawning sequels, spinoffs and books. I fell in love with the series almost 20 years ago when the original landed on the Xbox 360. So I can't wait to play the remastered edition of the game, called Gears of War: Reloaded, when it launches on Xbox Game Pass on Aug. 26.

It's not much longer now for Gears of War: Reloaded to make its anticipated release on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. As expected, you'll be able to play the game on day one thanks to Xbox Game Pass, but that's not the only game coming this August.

The next batch of Xbox Game Pass games for August 2025 is coming soon, and it includes one of Xbox's biggest series.
