System Requirements for Gears of War: Reloaded on PC

Sure, let’s try diving right in.

Okay, so here we go. Delta Squad is back, and it’s not like they tiptoed in quietly. We’re talking about Gears of War: Reloaded, which is like the original game but with a shiny new coat — all thanks to Xbox Game Studios and The Coalition. Does anyone else get that nostalgic tingle thinking about running through Locusts with Marcus and the gang? I mean, seriously.

Now, a quick heads-up. This is the first time it’s on Steam. Woohoo! But there’s a catch. If your rig is from the Stone Age, you might hit a snag since this remaster really gobbles up all the tech goodies like recent processors and graphics cards. Who doesn’t love eye candy, right? And those explosions — chef’s kiss.

Oh! Almost forgot, here’s the nitty-gritty on what your PC needs to even think about running this beast. Brace yourself.

Gears of War: Reloaded Specs!

First off, some image pops up of a Corpser. I had a dream about one once — it was weirdly comforting. Moving on…

Minimum PC Specs:

• OS: Windows 10-19H2. Sounds fancy, right?
• Processor: Umm, AMD Ryzen 3 or Intel i5 Skylake. Four cores, so it’s like four little engines.
• Memory: 8 GB. That’s quite ordinary nowadays, I guess.
• Graphics: GPUs you might have lying around: AMD Radeon RX 480 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650. Personally, I always imagined GPUs as tiny, very powerful gremlins.
• DirectX: Version 12. Frankly, no clue what that even means.
• Storage: 70 GB. Just delete some… I don’t know… cat videos?

If you’re feeling flush, the recommended specs bump things up to a Ryzen 5 or Intel i5 Coffee Lake — six cores this time. Memory’s still 8 GB. It’s practical. Graphics-wise, you might want an RTX 2070, which isn’t as ancient as it sounds. Like, seven years ago ancient.

Okay, where were we? Right, checking PC specs. Ah, the good old confusion of not remembering what’s inside your beloved machine. So relatable.

1. Taskbar — that magical strip.
2. Type dxdiag. I promise this isn’t a spell — though it might as well be.
3. Click through some tabs. System for memory, processors. Display for graphics. Done and dusted.

Upgrading: Is It Necessary?

Chances are you’re good, but if your computer looks like it might give up mid-battle, maybe upgrade? I tried the game on the Xbox Ally X (say what?!), and it’s smooth. Predictably, I got distracted by all the chaos. Just me?

Do you like playing on the go? Well, if you’ve got something like a Steam Deck, it’s all good. Verified and everything. Those ROG Ally and Legion Go handheld PPCs are pretty nifty too. Who doesn’t want to curb-stomp Locusts in a coffee shop?

The game’s dropping on Aug. 26, 2025. PlayStation, Xbox, PC, you name it. And if you’ve got Xbox Game Pass — boom — day one access. Kinda like finding a forgotten cupcake in the fridge. Thrilling!

So, there you have it. A chaotic whirlwind through the land of Locust-infested nostalgia. Who’s ready?
