Analyst: Cancelling Gears of War: E-Day on PS5 Was a Mistake

Alinea Analytics' Rhys Elliot argued Microsoft shouldn't have cancelled the PS5 version of Gears of War: E-Day, citing just 120k Steam pre-orders and a port reportedly already in development. He said the PlayStation release would have added revenue, especially given the game's online multiplayer focus.

• The PS5 version was cancelled in 2025 despite being in development
• Analyst links the need for a port to online multiplayer
