Xbox Has Started Giving Out Free Gears Of War: Reloaded Codes To ‘Ultimate Edition’ Owners

As we mentioned right after the game was announced last month, existing owners of Gears: Ultimate Edition will get a free upgrade to Gears of War: Reloaded on Xbox Series X|S – and now Microsoft is beginning to roll out this generous offer to its users.

We’d been minding our own business this evening, playing a little Call of Duty when a DM pinged into our messages directly from Xbox. Within that message is a code for Gears of War: Reloaded, alongside a short thank you message from Team Green.

Here’s an example of our DM, with the code cut off of course (sneaky):

To be able to get this offer, you’ll have needed to own a digital copy of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition before Gears: Reloaded was announced – sorry, there’s been no way to gain eligibility since the remaster was revealed. If you meet this criteria, you should see the above message crop up for you shortly.

Of course, if you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, it’s not a huge deal either way. Gears: Reloaded will be available in the service on day one, and with this being a Microsoft first-party release, it’ll stay in the library for the duration. See you on the battlefield, grub stompers!
