Gamers are reporting thatGears of War: Reloaded’s ongoing multiplayer beta is experiencing some big issues. These problems appear to be prominent enough that they are preventing some players from being able to connect toGears of War: Reloadedmatches.
Gears of War: Reloadedwas first announced at the start of May, and it was confirmed to be a remaster of the first game with 4K graphics and 120 FPS multiplayer. Some had expected a remaster of the originalGears of Wartrilogy, so it was somewhat surprising to see just the first title get this treatment. It was exciting news, regardless, especially for PlayStation 5 gamers.Gears of War: Reloadedwas confirmed for Sony’s platform, marking the first time in the series' history that it would appear on PlayStation.
After theGears of War: Reloadedmultiplayer beta dates were revealed, fans had circled June 13 in their calendar as the date to hop back into the action. However, reports from players across forums online indicate the beta has some pretty big connectivity problems at the moment, leaving many players unable to connect to matches. One user claimed they were “having Halo:MCC launch flashbacks,” while another brutally dubbed the game “Gears of War: Loading.” On top of it all, others in the same threads have reported hit registration issues in the game, leading to a pretty negative first impression for theGears of War: Reloadedmultiplayer beta so far.
Some Players Are Struggling to Connect to Matches in Gears of War: Reloaded’s Beta
The good news is that the Gears Community X account claims that The Coalition is “aware of issues in matchmaking, connectivity, and access to the Multiplayer Beta affecting some players,” claiming, “we’ll keep you updated throughout the weekend.” With the firstGears of War: Reloadedmultiplayer betaonly set to run until June 15, it remains to be seen if The Coalition plans to extend it any longer to compensate for some being unable to play throughout this period. The good news is that it’s better for these problems to happen now rather than the full release on August 26.
WhenGears of War: Reloadedhits shelves later this year, it could be the perfect way for players to get their series fix before the next big release.Gears of War: E-Daywas announced just over a year ago, and is set to be released next year. No concrete launch date has been locked in for the title, but the prospect of first returning to where Marcus and Dom’s story started inGears of War: Reloadedbefore rejoining them inE-Dayis an exciting one.
