Gears of War: Reloaded PS5 version won’t be available in Japan in August due to regional and platform restrictions.
Microsoft confirmed that the game will not launch for PS5 in Japan, but will be available on PC and Xbox Series X|S in the region.
Sony's requirement for CERO approval for mature games on the PS Store in Japan means Gears of War: Reloaded, not approved by CERO, will skip PS5 release in Japan.
While the game will be released on PC and Xbox in Japan, Sony has no plans to change its policies regarding CERO approval for mature games.
