Xbox is placing Gears of War: E-Day at the centre of its competition with other major gaming companies, with the title set to be available exclusively on Xbox.
The decision sets E-Day apart from other flagship games and comes at a time when the cost of games consoles is rising. That could make platform exclusivity a significant factor for players deciding which system to buy.
The title is part of the Gears of War franchise, which Xbox is using as it competes in the wider gaming market. By keeping E-Day on Xbox, the company is making the game a reason for players to remain with, or choose, its platform.
No further details about the game’s release or wider availability are provided in the supplied material. The immediate focus is its role as an Xbox-only release during an increasingly competitive period for the major gaming companies.
