Could Gears of War: E-Day be heading to the PS5? A curious placeholder listing for the game popped up on Walmart’s website, sparking buzz just before the big Xbox Games Showcase 2026. This could mean a shift in Microsoft’s exclusivity strategy, or it could just be a glitch in the system.
The Walmart page, now removed, listed a PS5 version of the game with a $99.99 price tag. While Reddit user Laughing__Man_ was quick to spot and share the listing, IGN saw it before it vanished. This surprise appearance has fans wondering if Microsoft is considering expanding their game offerings beyond Xbox and PC. With Xbox’s Asha Sharma recently discussing the balance between exclusivity and platform growth (Xbox’s Asha Sharma on Console Exclusivity Debate), it’s hard to say what’s next.
Adding to the intrigue, rumors from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb suggest that a PS5 version was once in the works but might have been shelved. With the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 right around the corner, fans are on the edge of their seats to see if any official announcements will be made. Until then, keep those expectations in check and stay tuned for any updates post-showcase.
