Gaming Xbox Gears of War E-Day arrives October 6 as an Xbox and PC exclusive It's no longer coming to the PS5. By Mat Smith Updated: June 7, 2026 2:45 pm EST Microsoft wasted no time getting straight into Gears of War: E-Day to kick off its big Summer Game Fest show. In a new trailer, we got to see a mixture of in-game action and cut scenes, some more context on what's happened to Earth, and a release date: October 6, 2026. I guess not every Xbox game is running scared from GTA V . The gameplay trailer showcases plenty of close-quarter violence, acid-filled monsters and a broken Earth. E-Day is set, as the name suggests, on the day that the Locust came to our world.
The trailer begins with series stalwart Marcus Fenix in some distinctly civvy clothing, and ends with Fenix meeting his buddy Dominic Santiago, apparently for the first time. Perhaps the biggest news drop was more to do what what E-Day isn't: In a reversal of plans, new Xbox head Asha Sharma announced that the game was no longer coming to PlayStation 5. It'll instead arrive on Xbox, PC and Xbox Cloud. We thought that might kick off a wave of switcheroos, but Fable and Halo: Campaign Evolved trailers arrived later in the showcase with that shiny PS5 logo still intact.
