After recent rumors and speculation, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed that Xbox console exclusives are back in a big way.
During the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the fun kicked off with a new trailer for Gears of War: E-Day, the upcoming prequel to the Gears of War franchise. We'll learn more about what we can expect later today during the Gears of War: E-Day Direct, but perhaps the biggest news of all is the fact that E-Day will be an Xbox console exclusive when it launches on October 6th, 2026.
This is the first Xbox console exclusive in quite some time; Forza Horizon 6 and Halo: Campaign Evolved are both releasing on the PlayStation 5, much to the dismay of Xbox fans who have been frustrated with the company's direction as of late.
We've heard that change is coming in an effort to bring Xbox back, and we can now hear that change loud and clear. It's one of many changes that Sharma has been making since assuming the role after the departure of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond from the company earlier this year.
