Microsoft changed Gears of War: E-Day to an Xbox exclusive at the last minute. If you want the ultimate proof of that, Xbox posted a podcast today and forgot to remove the PS5 logo from the E-Day art 😬 Xbox has removed the video now

[Shinobi602 @shinobi602]

Gears of War: E-Day exclusivity was seemingly a last minute decision, where a version of its gameplay trailer, (now private) included the PS5 logo

Very surreal seeing PlayStation x Halo.
the new Xbox CEO trying to backpedal on exclusives is pointless.

fans of that brand just rent games through Game Pass 90% of the time, there's a reason most physical sales in the UK are on PlayStation.

financially unsustainable position.

Prepare for Halo: Campaign Evolved with this three-minute story primer, captured on PS5 Pro: https://t.co/hYR6kNJKaV

Arrives July 28

[Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛ @Kster91]

Whatever Microsoft & Xbox do going forward this generation re. exclusives...it's too late. The brand damage is already done.
The big icons of Xbox are now multiplatform.
Diehard loud vocal bots on X may have convinced the new CEO to u-turn on Gears E-Day, but the floodgates open

He's back! Spyro: A Realm Beyond, coming to PS5 in Spring 2027.

[Poncho @PorkPoncho]

It’s very strange to me that Xbox decided to give everyone at their live show a free collectors edition Series X. Almost everybody there was by invite and was already a “influencer” for the brand they had been previously wined and dined as well as getting their photos with Asha yesterday.

Surely this damages public perception even further towards the notion that Xbox foster’s the parasocial relationship with its fans.

Seeing the usual suspects all pop up on the timeline celebrating exclusivity after spending the last 2 years claiming they were a thing of the past?

It’s all very odd to me.

What a mess

[Hunter 🎮 @NextGenPlayer]

Gears of War E-Day PS5 removal reportedly caught retailers off-guard, as they announced pre-orders but quickly pulled the listings

What a horrible loathsome man.
why haven't the Americans removed him from office yet?!

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Look at the RAGE on his sweaty swollen bright orange face before he crashed out and ran away.

[Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛ @Kster91]

Heartbreaking.
but I believe they raised the price of Xbox quite considerably, so no one is going to go out and buy one now this late in the generation just to play Gears 🤣
critical mistake

[Hunter 🎮 @NextGenPlayer]

The console wars are back 🫪

Gears of War E-Day will never come to PS5, say Xbox

The PS5 version is reportedly finished, and will forever sit on a hard drive never to be played

@shinobi602 "games already announced for multiplatform"

‘SPYRO: A REALM BEYOND’ has been announced.

Releasing in Spring 2027.

[Spyro @SpyroTheDragon]

Take flight on a bold new adventure.

Spyro: A Realm Beyond, coming Spring 2027.

[Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛ @Kster91]

@geoffkeighley Yet everything else announced is 🤔 such an odd business decision, especially after finding a new audience with Reloaded!
plus all the money & work the teams have put in on an E-Day build no one will now play? strange imo

[Fable @fable]

Except other Xbox Game Studios games...Senua, Halo, Fable, State of Decay 3.

What a slap in the face for the Gears team.

"Hey, scrap the PS5 build you've worked hard on for ages, hundreds of thousands of people aren't going to enjoy your work now! ta da!"
disrespectful imo

[VGC @VGC_News]

It's official: Gears of War E-Day is coming in October, and PS5 will no longer be getting it.

https://t.co/JnW2Z2onqC

[Karl 🐞🐈‍⬛ @Kster91]

soFable, Halo and State of Decay 3 are coming to PS5.
but not Gear E Day...a game that's probably been in development for PS5 for ages. Surely that's costing money? mad imo
