Gears of War: E-Day Trailer With PS5 Logo Has Been Taken Down After Exclusivity Announcement

by

So, I was really excited for Gears of War: E-Day, but it looks like it’s only coming to PC and Xbox Series X/S – no PlayStation 5 version. It seems like this decision might have been made pretty recently, though. When they showed the trailer on the Xbox Podcast, some fans spotted the PS5 logo in the background! They quickly took it down and re-edited the video, so it looks like it was a mistake they didn’t catch before releasing it.

Aaron Greenberg, head of marketing for Xbox, told VideoGamesChronicle that the decision to make Gears of War: E-Day exclusive to Xbox Series X/S wasn’t a last-minute one. He explained that the trailer mistakenly showing a PlayStation 5 logo appeared because information about the game’s exclusivity was only shared with a small team internally.

Greenberg stated that the report is inaccurate. They deliberately kept the information limited to a small team internally, with the goal of announcing it first to players and viewers of the showcase.

So, Xbox is really leaning into exclusives, and it sounds like they’ve got a whole plan for it. Their new strategy guy, Matthew Ball, said that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are just the start. They’ve got a system for figuring out which games will stay exclusive to Xbox and which ones will come to other platforms too. Basically, they want to make sure the Xbox brand keeps growing and that all of us who invested in the console and Xbox ecosystem feel like it was worth it. It’s cool to see they’re thinking about us fans!

As a gamer, what I’m hearing is Microsoft is committed to making sure all my past Xbox purchases still matter and will keep me invested in the ecosystem. It’s pretty clear they also know that having games you can only play on Xbox is a big deal for attracting players and building the brand – which, honestly, makes sense.

So, it sounds like the company is thinking about reaching a bigger audience with their multiplayer games, which is cool. Plus, Aaron Greenberg mentioned that the games they’ve already said will be on multiple platforms – like Fable and the original Halo: Combat Evolved – will definitely be coming to those platforms, including the PS5. Basically, they’re keeping their promises on wider releases!

We also have a group of titles we’ve already announced or promised to our partners, players, and teams, and we’re keeping those commitments.

Microsoft announced earlier this week that both Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution will only be available on Xbox consoles. This move is part of Microsoft’s broader strategy to focus on its Xbox platform.

The company recently announced that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution will only be available on Xbox consoles. They clarified that these games won’t be temporarily exclusive – they’re committed to releasing other announced titles on multiple platforms as planned, and will continue to invest in Xbox on consoles and other platforms.

Gears of War: E-Day is coming to PC and Xbox Series X/S in early 2027.
