Gears of War: E-Day will launch for Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6. The game marks the franchise’s first major release in seven years and serves as a prequel to Gears of War, the title that started the series.

The download size has not yet been confirmed. Gears of War: E-Day is expected to take up around 100 GB, but the exact figure will only become clear when preloading begins on September 29.

The standard edition will be available on Xbox Game Pass starting October 6. The day-one release will be available to PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
