Xbox accidentally releases Gears of War PS5 trailer

By aimee yang

A trailer for the game Gears of War: E-Day was accidentally posted by Xbox, showing it was planned for the PS5. This happened just before the Xbox Showcase event. Aaron Greenberg, a marketing executive at Xbox, said the cancellation was not sudden. He explained that only a small group knew about the game’s release plans. Greenberg wanted to share this news first with players at the showcase.

Before this incident, some fans saw a deleted video on an Xbox Podcast, which showed a PS5 logo at the end of the trailer. This logo suggests there was a nearly finished version of the game for the PS5. Despite earlier comments from Xbox leaders about exclusivity, there was no clear answer to tough questions during interviews.

Now, we know that The Coalition, the game’s developer, prepared a trailer with the PS5 logo. The game had also received a rating for release on Sony’s console from PEGI, a rating organisation in Europe. Retailers had listings for the game until recently. This situation raises questions about Xbox’s plans and how it is handling game releases.
