Rumor: Gears of War: E-Day and State of Decay 3 Could Be Coming to PS5

Major Xbox Exclusives Potentially Heading to PlayStation 5

It seems the era of strict console exclusives is slowly fading as major publishers like Sony and Microsoft increasingly embrace multiplatform releases. A new rumor suggests that two significant Xbox titles, Gears of War: E-Day and State of Decay 3, could soon make their way to the PlayStation 5 console.

Developer Resumes Hint at PS5 Ports

The speculation originates from the MP1st portal, which reportedly found indications in the resumes of developers from The Coalition (Gears of War: E-Day) and Undead Labs (State of Decay 3). These resumes allegedly list Sony's flagship console as a target platform for their respective upcoming games. While there’s no official confirmation yet, this aligns with Microsoft's recent strategy of bringing more of its first-party titles to other platforms.

This wouldn't be the first time the Gears of War series ventures onto PlayStation. The remastered version of the original game, Gears of War: Reloaded, is already confirmed to launch on PlayStation 5 on August 26, setting a precedent for the franchise's presence beyond Xbox.

More Cross-Platform Releases Expected

Adding to these specific rumors, The Game Business publication reports that Xbox is expected to announce more cross-platform versions of its titles for PS5 and even the Nintendo Switch 2 in the coming weeks. Potential candidates mentioned include major games like Starfield and Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

What This Means for Players

For gamers, this ongoing shift means greater accessibility and choice. As companies move away from strict platform exclusivity, players can look forward to enjoying more titles, regardless of their preferred console. However, as with all rumors, official announcements are still needed to confirm these exciting possibilities for Gears of War: E-Day and State of Decay 3 on PlayStation 5.
