Didn't Receive Gears of War: Reloaded Code? Explainer

Many players who own Gears of War: Ultimate Edition are wondering why they haven’t received their Gears of War: Reloaded access code. Whether you own the game on disc or digital, this guide covers what’s going on, who’s eligible, and what steps to take.

🔍 Who Is Eligible for the Gears of War: Reloaded Code?

Microsoft and The Coalition confirmed that eligible players will receive a code via Xbox messages. You’re eligible if:

• ✅ You pre-ordered the digital Ultimate Edition
• ✅ You have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass
• ✅ You owned the Ultimate Edition before May 5, 2025

Note: Game Pass subscribers don’t need a code — the game should appear automatically in your library.

📦 What About Physical Disc Owners?

If you own the disc version of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, you may still receive a code. Several users have confirmed receiving theirs via Xbox Message Center, though the rollout seems slower and less consistent for disc-based editions.

🕐 When Are Codes Being Sent Out?

Codes began rolling out on June 11, 2025, in waves — so not everyone will get them at once.

If you’re eligible and haven’t received yours yet:

• Be patient — delays are common
• Double-check that your Xbox account region and game ownership are valid

✉️ Where to Find Your Code

Check your:

1. Xbox console – Messages or Notifications
2. Xbox mobile or PC app – same inbox syncs across devices
3. Look for a message from Xbox Live or Microsoft

That’s where your code will appear if issued.

❗ Still No Code After June 13?

If it’s past June 13–15 and there’s still no code:

• Go to Xbox Support
• Choose chat support or request a callback
• Provide proof of game ownership and your Microsoft account

Support may reissue your code if you’re eligible but were missed in the automated rollout.
