Gears of War: E-Day | Windows 10-Xbox Series XS

Experience the beginning of the war against the Locust Horde on PC and Xbox Series X|S

Discover the origins of Emergence Day

Gears of War: E-Day tells the story of the events that started the war against the Locust Horde, fourteen years before the first Gears of War.

The story follows Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago during the first hours of Emergence Day, when the Locust suddenly emerge from underground and turn the planet Sera into a battlefield.

The tone is darker and more horror-focused than other entries in the series, with a campaign designed to show the moment when humanity realizes the true scale of the threat.

Face brutal combat with the classic cover-based system

Gears of War: E-Day retains the third-person cover-based combat that made the series famous.

Positioning, movement, and weapon choice are essential for surviving encounters against the Locust. You can alternate between ranged firefights, close-range assaults, and aggressive maneuvers to secure new positions.

The system has been rebuilt to take advantage of Unreal Engine 5, delivering more modern animations, detailed environments, advanced effects, and greater visual impact during battles.

Play the campaign alone or in co-op

The campaign can be played in single-player mode or in co-op.

Online co-op allows you to experience the story together with other players, while Xbox Series X|S also supports local cooperative features in compatible modes.

Cross-platform features also allow supported Windows PC and Xbox console players to play together.

Survive the waves in Horde Siege mode

Gears of War: E-Day introduces Horde Siege, a reinterpretation of the series’ classic PvE mode.

Your team must survive increasingly dangerous waves of enemies, defend key positions, and work together to manage resources, equipment, and threats coming from multiple directions.

Coordination and battlefield control become essential as the number and strength of enemies increase.

Face other players in Versus modes

Competitive multiplayer returns with Versus modes built around the tactical and close-range combat typical of the series.

Cover usage, shotguns, fast movement, and map knowledge become essential for overcoming opponents.

Online modes expand replayability and allow you to challenge other players through the supported multiplayer features.

Play on Windows 10 and Xbox Series X|S with Xbox Play Anywhere

This version supports Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing a compatible digital purchase to be used on both Windows PC and Xbox Series X|S through the same Microsoft account.

Progress supported by the Xbox ecosystem can be synchronized across compatible devices, allowing you to switch between console and PC while keeping your experience linked to the same profile.

This makes the Win 10/Xbox Series version especially suitable for players who want to play across multiple devices without separating their progress.

Experience Sera powered by Unreal Engine 5

Gears of War: E-Day has been built from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5.

The new engine allows for more detailed environments, advanced lighting, particle effects, and environmental destruction at a higher technical level than previous entries.

On compatible hardware, advanced graphical features such as ray tracing, HDR, and support for high resolutions are also available.

Return to the darker atmosphere of the series

E-Day aims to recapture the sense of vulnerability and tension that characterized the early days of the franchise.

The Locust are presented as an unknown, unpredictable, and terrifying threat, while humanity still lacks the knowledge and experience required to fight them effectively.

This approach allows the campaign to alternate between intense combat, tense moments, and more narrative-driven sequences focused on the relationship between Marcus and Dom.

Follow Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago before they became legends

Before becoming two of the most recognizable faces in the franchise, Marcus and Dom are soldiers forced to face an unprecedented crisis.

E-Day explores their relationship and shows how the events of the invasion helped shape them into the characters known from later entries.

The story therefore also serves as a narrative prequel, providing more context for the origins of their friendship and the beginning of the conflict with the Locust.
