We’re still processing the fact that we can play Forza Horizon 5 on PS5, but the floodgates are well and truly open for Xbox franchises going multiplatform.
Outer Worlds 2 is coming to Sony’s system later in the year, but before then, there’s the small matter of Gears of War making its debut on PS5 via the Reloaded edition of the first game.
Revealed last month, the game promises audio and visual improvements, no loading times, and HDR support among other things, but there’s one thing it can’t do: be found as a physical copy on Xbox.
Despite assurances that the company still has plans for physical media last year, if you want a physical copy of Gears of War Reloaded, you’ll need to be a PS5 owner.

While the revamped version of Gears of War is available for £39.99/$39.99 on Amazon right now, Xbox players will have no choice but to buy it digitally if they want to own it (at the time of publication, as this could be subject to change), although there is some comfort.
