A couple of days ago Gears of War: Reloaded was released.

The remaster of the cult shooter of 2006 was met with excellent reviews from critics, but gamers left a lot of comments because of low performance, poor optimisation and lack of any pre-order bonuses.

But with all the negativity, the public is eager to get acquainted with the updated game.

Here's What We Know

Microsoft and The Coalition studio reported that 1 million players have played Gears of War: Reloaded since the 26th of August.

The developer didn't provide exact statistics by platform, but it's safe to assume that the vast majority of that 1 million gamers are Game Pass subscribers, where the shooter was added on release day.

Low sales of the game can be judged by the fact that on the most popular platform Steam peak online Gears of War: Reloaded did not reach 5000 players.

The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
