    Niiice!

    Gears of War: E-Day is another incredible addition to the franchise. I've played Gears of War since the beginning but I never got chance to play 4 & 5. Which made E-Day being prequal the perfect time to jump back in. New and old fans will love the dark story tones while not having to replay or watch a recap on the last 20 years of Gears lore. I still haven't finished the campaign only because the online multiplayer is so addictive. Versus is just as tense and fun as it was in the first Gears of War. I am still getting Gnasher blasted like I did in 2006. Horde is definitely my favorite mode and it's absolutely consumed most of my time. Having 3 team mates along with 3 other squads roaming the city makes it feel like an extension of the campaign. All together this game is a masterpiece that came out right at the perfect time during Halloween season and is a game I will continue to play throughout all the other seasons! 10/10

    Great game! Really wished it focused on Marcus tho

    I really like this game, it’s fun to play and I’m glad I got it as part of the bundle with an Xbox and controller as I was looking at getting this game anyway. With the digital program with this, now I don’t need the disc. I’m happy with it except that I really wish the game focus more on Dom and Marcus rather than the other characters. But it’s OK, it looks great on my PC and props I get to now play it in my bedroom too.

    Excellent Xbox Console Exclusive

    I pre-ordered it. Arrived on release day. Worked perfectly. Works with Disc-to-Digital and Xbox Play Anywhere, so you basically get PC version for free!! Comes with a nice sticker inside. E-Day is awesome. One of the best games of 2026 and this console generation. Definitely recommend!

Questions & Answers

  • Is this a physical game

    Yes, phyical disk and supports disc to digital as well, so once you claim digital license, you don’t need to keep the disc in the drive to play it. Just keep in mind, if you sell the disc, your digital license will move to next owner.

  • Will this version play on my series s console?

    Physical copy will not because the Series S lacks a disc drive but the Digital Copy of the game will work

    Yes

    Answered by Jesse

  • Will Best Buy EVER get their act together on shipping pre-orders? I remember before Covid getting pre-ordered games on or before release date. Since Covid, I've had most games shipped ON release date, and at least one was shipped 4-5 days AFTER.

    I pre-ordered it and received on release day Oct 6th without any issues.

    Answered by TechNGames

  • will there be a physical collecters edition?

    Yes. However, it is not available anywhere except through the Xbox Game Studios Gear Shop, and is in-demand. Make haste, should you wish to purchase the console version and its Steelbook there. You will also get a lot more extras and a thank-you letter for purchasing the collector's edition personally, regardless of platform.
