Gears of War: Reloaded – PC System Requirements Guide

Alright, buckle up, folks. Here we go:

So, remember Delta Squad? They’re back in action with Gears of War: Reloaded. Xbox Game Studios and The Coalition teamed up to reboot the original epic game, now with all the bells and whistles of modern gaming tech. Yeah, get ready, because it’s gonna need some beefy hardware — which, honestly, might make your old PC give you the stink eye.

Anyway, it’s a big moment for Steam — like a homecoming of sorts. Not sure why that made me so nostalgic, but there it is. Maybe the thought of chainsawing Locusts in high definition just does something to my brain.

Specs Talk Time: Alright, down to the nitty-gritty. The system requirements? They’re not too shabby, but they’re not exactly low-key either. So if your rig’s rocking anything less than AMD Ryzen 3 or an Intel i5 from the Skylake era, well, you might want to reconsider your life choices. Or at least your PC choices. Oh, and you better have 8 gigs of RAM and some decent graphics muscle, like a Radeon RX 480 or GTX 1650.

I mean, come on, is it just me, or is gaming becoming like car maintenance?

Now, there are the fancy “recommended” specs, too, if you’re feeling extra and want to crank up those settings. Good news? Even the RTX 2070 isn’t brand new by any stretch, so chances are you’re golden.

Lost in PC Land? Yeah, if you’re anything like me and kinda forget what your PC’s packing because, I don’t know, life? Tapping ‘dxdiag’ in the Windows taskbar is a lifesaver. Shows you everything – it’s like a backstage pass to your PC’s inner workings.

Upgrade or… Not? So, if you’re panicking about specs and need a crash course on upgrades, there’s a world of guides out there that’ll hold your hand through the chaos.

Handheld Gaming? Now, I hear handhelds are quite the buzz. Honestly, I prefer the comfort of my trusty desk chair, but hey, if you’re into that sort of thing, you’ll be glad to know that Gears of War: Reloaded seems to vibe well on devices like the Steam Deck or the ROG Ally. Basically, if it runs on one handheld, expect similar shenanigans on the others. Tried it myself once, and yeah, it’s a different world when you’re on the bus and chainsawing Locusts.

Sliding in at the tail end, Gears of War: Reloaded is dropping on August 26, 2025. Loads of platforms coming your way — Xbox Series X|S, PS5, Windows PC, you name it. And hey, Game Pass subscribers? You’re covered.

Phew, that was a lot. But if you love shoot-’em-ups and epic alien battles, you’ll probably thank me later. Or not. Whatever floats your gunboat, right?
