Gears of War: E-Day is an Xbox-only launch

Gears of War: E-Day, the hotly anticipated sequel to Gears of War 5, will not be coming to PlayStation 5. Microsoft revealed today that E-Day is an Xbox Series X/S console exclusive, launching on October 6th. The trailer showed urban combat in familiar settings: an electronics store and grocery shop under attack by alien invaders — the same cover-based gameplay that made Gears a classic.

Why this matters for us: This is the first major console-exclusive game Microsoft has announced since the Xbox acquisition by Amazon and Apple. The PS5 community will have to wait for another Gears title.
