Gears of War 3 is now entitled to its PS3 version. As amazing as it sounds, this is actually a fully functional prototype developed 10 years ago by Epic Games. The objective of the time was then to test Unreal Engine 3 on the Sony console.
It's a sentence that we never thought we would write one day, and yet. The Gears of War series, historic Xbox exclusive like Halo, today sees one of its episodes ported to PlayStation. While Gears 5 is doing wonders on Xbox Series X, today we take you on a journey through time by playing Gears of War 3 sur… PS3. As you would expect, there is nothing official about this project.
Even if it recently backtracked by keeping the PS Store open on its old consoles, Sony is gradually abandoning its last ones. Epic Games, for its part, has not communicated at all on a revival of Gears of War 3 and did not want to surprise fans of the saga. In reality, this version is a prototype developed by the studios, aiming to test its Unreal Engine 3 on the console. In view of the images provided by the archivist PixelButts, it is clear that everything works perfectly.
It's the 10th anniversary of the Gears of War 3 PS3 data being built, so to celebrate I'm releasing it.
I no longer plan to release prototype game stuff after this, as this was the last one I was sitting on.https://t.co/Tg5TS1mzN2

Playing Gears of War 3 on PS3 is possible
This is also confirmed by Epic Games itself. The port of Gears of War 3 isn't really a port, but rather "a by-product of Epic's internal testing process on the Unreal 3 engine, which used both Gears and Unreal Tournament, and didn't never was part of an actual product for the PlayStation 3 ″. For this reason, the game is unfortunately compatible with a debug PS3, these models have more RAM than the standard versions.

According to the video from PixelButts, no performance problem is to be deplored. Hopefully Epic has some more surprises like these up its sleeve, which will allow us to experience our favorite games from a different perspective.
