XBOX has announced Gears E-Day is not timed exclusive. No port for other consoles.
news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/06/…
Gears of War: E-Day has sold 120K copies on Steam for nearly $7M (@alineaanalytics estimates)
It’s sold under 20K in the last six weeks despite launching this week in early access, so the pre-launch curve is soft (but it’s increasing a bit).
Gears is a far more niche IP than Call of Duty (450K Steam copies pre-sold), of course. Launch-aligned, E-Day has already sold more than double what Halo: Campaign Evolved did on Steam, but it’s well behind Wardogs (which was on 567K at this point pre-launch, versus Gears‘ 120K, and roughly triple the revenue).
Realistically, in this window, 1M on Steam this year for E-Day is a stretch, and most of the Xbox revenue will be eaten up by Game Pass. That said, some superfans will cough up the extra $30 to play earlier.
In my view, they shouldn't have cancelled that PlayStation port. It would have added some much-needed extra revenue, the port was reportedly already in the works, and Gears isn't necessarily a console-seller anymore.
I can see a port coming at some point.

Watch how reviewers talk about the Xbox layoffs in the Gears of War E-Day review - something they already knew was coming.
But hey, don’t cry when we use Xbox Store ratings.

It’s not coincidence that everyone’s favourite insider suddenly has the alleged details of Kojima’s dealings with Sony a day after the Xbox deal was announced.

This is a PlayStation.
You can now stream PS Plus games to Steam Deck without owning a PS5 - and without buying a PS Portal. bit.ly/4woooO1

Today, XBOX will begin a public test that enables XBOX Insiders to stream select games from their library, at no added cost and with no subscription required, through a new ad-supported option.
Our overall goal is simple: to give players more affordable options to play. The goal of this public test is to see how players use ad-supported streaming and listen to their feedback.
As we experiment, we want to be clear about the principles we hold for ad-supported experiences:
1⃣ We start with the player. Ads should create value
2⃣ We do not interrupt the flow of gameplay
3⃣ We hold ads to the same quality bar as our content
4⃣ We’re clear about what is an ad
5⃣ We make sure ads fit what players expect on each platform

Xbox's return to console exclusivity isn't a temporary pivot. It's a permanent strategy.
After speaking with senior leaders across the company, one message came through loud and clear: Xbox believes it can't grow a hardware platform without games you can't play elsewhere.
"There has to be a reason for people to buy an Xbox," Matt Booty told me.
That's why Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are exclusive, and Xbox says they won't be the last.

Crazy how Sony shut down Bluepoint and others without a second thought, while Microsoft allowed Ninja Theory and others to go independent or be bought and their games funded by another entity🚀
Goes to show you how little Sony cares for any form of creativity, from Jim Ryan’s era and onwards.
Never thought I’d say that, but what a disgrace🎤

““Multiplatform was a MISTAKE.” Be ready, guys. More outrage is coming. More crying is coming. Because EXCLUSIVES are coming.

Pay attention
This is how you do journalism, you talk about the fact that PlayStation announced that they will end Physical disc games by 2028 and they didn't drag in any Xbox rumors they simply stick to the facts
Starting in January 2028, Sony Interactive Entertainment will cease the production of physical discs for PlayStation consoles, citing "shifting trends in consumer preference," according to a press release.

Yes. Xbox should just hand the already biased gaming media exactly what they want and let them run completely wild with dummy data based on affiliate links for the biggest game of the last decade. Gotcha👍
Wait, is this how we get info out of Xbox? Engage in snarky console war tactics?
I mean yes, people probably asked Xbox for comment...but the fact that they actually commented on 3rd party game pre-orders is kinda surprising.
The PR vibes feel off here.

Since 2020 these companies have shut down these studios…
Embracer - 44
PlayStation - 8
Xbox - 4
Ubisoft - Around 5
Something needs to change, there’s an industry wide problem
Blaming Game Pass is a copout, lazy & not the problem, and wanting Xbox to shut down is childish

These rumors are false. Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution will stay exclusive. There are no conversations and have been no conversations to "reverse course." And as we said last week, players can continue to expect signature exclusives from us every year.
