How many copies has Gears of War: E-Day sold? A new report claims it sold at least 400,000 copies across XBOX and Steam. These sales exclude Game Pass access.
Gears of War: E-Day launched earlier this month and was the first game in the franchise since Gears 5 launched in 2019. Players and critics received the game well, and it currently holds an 87 on Metacritic. A new report shed light on how many copies were sold.
Gears of War: E-Day Reportedly Passes 400K Paid Sales
Tom Warren of The Verge reports Gears of War: E-Day has sold more than 400,000 copies on XBOX and Steam, while Game Pass revenue remains unclear.
Warren asks whether the Game Pass numbers are successful and whether they could have offset additional XBOX hardware sales, or the sales a potential PS5 release could have generated, had XBOX decided to port the game to Sony hardware.
E-Day was one of XBOX’s first major releases under Asha Sharma’s leadership and the first to champion a soft return to console exclusivity for certain games. This follows the launch of Halo: Campaign evolved on PS5, marking the first time the legendary Microsoft franchise was playable on PlayStation.
