Gears of War: E-Day is no longer coming to PlayStation 5 consoles, according to a gaming industry insider.
The claim comes from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb during Giant Bomb @ Nite Day 2. During the stream, Grubb said: “Gears of War: E-Day was gonna be on PS5. It’s not anymore. That just happened. That is a decision that just got made.”
“They’re going backwards on this stuff,” Grubb continued. “They were like ‘this battle doesn’t make any sense’, now they’re like, ‘exclusives!’ To what, sell another 20 million Xboxes?”
IGN’s Michael Higham chimed in with a joking remark; “It’s like E-Day for PlayStation gamers.”
The claim follows Xbox CEO Asha Sharma stating that the Xbox platform “must have exclusive content and services.”
Gears of War: E-Day is set to be a big part of the Xbox Game Showcase scheduled for Sunday, June 7. Platforms have not yet been announced for E-Day, and while PS5 may have been considered for launch, Grubb’s comments seem to indicate that is no longer the case.
2025’s Gears of War Reloaded did launch on PS5, which led many to believe E-Day would do the same.
In a tweet at the end of May, Xbox announced that Fable would be delayed to 2027, while also seemingly committing to a 2026 release date for Gears of War: E-Day and more.
