In the social spaces of Gears and Xbox, a bit of bad mood has been generated among players who have not yet received the free code for Gears of War Reloaded, despite being owners of the Ultimate Edition on Xbox. Although Microsoft started distributing these codes on June 11, some players claim that they have not received any message, which has caused concern among them.

After a brief investigation, it has been discovered that Microsoft’s deployment has not yet been completed. Although most codes were sent in the first days of the initiative, there are user testimonials that claim to have received them between June 26 and 27.

Don’t worry, your Gears of War: Reloaded code will arrive

A user of the Xbox subreddit shared his experience, saying: “I was convinced that they had forgotten about me. I didn’t think it would take weeks to send out all the codes. But I assure you, mine finally arrived“. Another commenter expressed a similar reaction, writing: “I thought Microsoft had forgotten about me and then the code suddenly appeared last night“.

A user has contacted Microsoft’s customer service and has received confirmation that the codes are being sent out in waves. This means that if you haven’t received yours yet, there’s no reason to worry, as it will eventually arrive. Generating codes for millions of players and checking eligibility requirements is not a simple operation, so it’s understandable that the process takes time.

The code is sent through Xbox’s internal messaging system and is officially reserved for all owners of the digital edition of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. However, it has also been reported that those who own the physical edition or have played through Xbox Game Pass are receiving the code. With the release of Gears of War: Reloaded scheduled for August 26, 2025, there is still time for Microsoft to finish sending out the codes to all eligible players.
