Xboxconsole exclusivesGears of War: E-DayandState of Decay 3are said to be coming to the PS5, according to a newly emerged report. The purported ports would mark a continuation of Microsoft’s multi-platform push, which has already seen it release plenty ofXboxgames on rival consoles.
In early 2024, Microsoft began shifting away from console exclusivity with the goal of starting to adopt a more traditional third-party publishing model. Since then, the company has ported more than a dozen titles to Xbox rival consoles. Most recently,Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4was treated to a same-day releaseon the PS4, PS5, and Switch on July 11.
This trend will soon continue with several more Xbox titles coming to PlayStation,MP1streports, citing several developer CVs. One of the sourced resumes belongs to a designer said to be working on the next entry in theGears of Warfranchise,E-Day, which lists the PS5 as one of the project’s target platforms. This turn of events aligns withrecent rumors about a PlayStation version ofGears of War: E-Day, which have been in circulation since mid-2024. A prequel to the original trilogy,E-Dayis presently targeting a 2026 launch but is waiting for a specific release date. The resume cited in the new report does not indicate whether the game will be a day-one PS5 title.
State of Decay 3 Reportedly Also in Development for PS5
Similarly, a developer from Undead Labs recently named the PS5 as one of the target platforms for thethird mainlineState of Decaygamein their online resume. Originally planned for release this year, the title has reportedly been delayed to 2026 and currently lacks a firm launch date. The newly surfaced resume doesn’t clarify whether the game is planned to have a same-day multi-platform launch or arrive on the PS5 later, like what happened withIndiana Jones and the Great Circleearlier in 2025.
