Is Gears of War: E-Day on PS5? Platforms and PC Specs

No — Gears of War: E-Day is not on PS5. It’s an Xbox Series X|S and PC title, and Xbox has been explicit that the exclusivity is not timed: Xbox’s Asha Sharma confirmed it will not come to PlayStation. A PS5 version was reportedly scrapped before the game’s reveal (PEGI briefly listed PS5 before correcting). Here’s where the game does play, and what PC hardware it demands.

Crossplay is built in — Xbox, Steam, and Xbox-app players share lobbies, and console players can toggle crossplay off. Optional account linking enables roaming saves and cross-progression.

Is E-Day on Game Pass?

Yes — day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The console-only lower Game Pass tier does not include it. Game Pass Ultimate members who want the Premium extras (early access window, Signature Weapon Pack, Iron, seasonal packs) can add them with the $30 Premium Upgrade — see our editions breakdown for the full comparison.

Gears of War: E-Day PC system requirements

The Coalition’s UE5 build is CPU-heavy and requires a ray-tracing-capable GPU at every tier — there is no non-RT fallback. HDDs are not supported; an SSD is mandatory.

Tier	Target	OS	CPU	RAM	GPU	Storage
Minimum	1080p/60 (Medium, upscaling)	Windows 10 64-bit	Ryzen 5 2600X / i7-6850K / i5-10400	12 GB	RTX 5050 / RTX 2060 / RX 6600 / RX 9060	115 GB SSD
Recommended	1440p	Windows 11 25H2+	Ryzen 5 5600 / i5-11600K	16 GB	RTX 5060 / RTX 3060 Ti / RX 6700 XT / RX 9060 XT	115 GB SSD
Ultra	4K/60 (upscaling)	—	—	—	RTX 5070 Ti / RX 7900 XT	115 GB SSD

PC feature support includes ultrawide, HDR10, full controller support, and upscaling via DLSS 4.5, FSR, XeSS, and TSR with frame generation. The game is described as optimized for Steam Deck and Xbox Ally handhelds; a formal Steam Deck Verified badge was not confirmed at launch. Note the download sizes: roughly 120 GB on Xbox Series X|S and 115 GB of SSD space on PC, with a modular installer that can skip Campaign, Horde Siege, or Versus components.

Does E-Day have cross-save?

Yes, through Xbox Play Anywhere: buying on Xbox or PC shares progression between console and PC, and optional Microsoft account linking on Steam enables roaming saves. Campaign co-op (up to 4 players online, plus 2-player split-screen on console) works across ecosystems via crossplay — the co-op structure is covered in our beginner tips.

FAQ

Will E-Day ever come to PS5?

Xbox says no. Asha Sharma stated E-Day will not come to PS5, and reporting indicates a PS5 port was scrapped before reveal — this is not a timed-exclusive situation.

Why is there no Xbox One version?

E-Day is built on Unreal Engine 5 with mandatory hardware ray tracing and ships only for the Series X|S generation and PC. Xbox One is not supported in any form.

Can my PC run it with an RTX 2060?

Yes — the RTX 2060 meets the minimum tier for 1080p/60 at Medium settings with upscaling, alongside a Ryzen 5 2600X-class CPU, 12 GB RAM, and a 115 GB SSD.

Is E-Day on GeForce NOW?

Yes — GeForce NOW support was added on October 8, 2026, joining Xbox Cloud Gaming (Game Pass Ultimate) as the two cloud options.
