Recent industry reports indicate that Microsoft is further expanding its multi-platform strategy, with Xbox console exclusives Gears of War: E-Day and State of Decay 3 reportedly coming to PlayStation 5. This move continues Microsoft's recent trend of bringing its first-party titles to competing platforms, marking a significant shift in the company's console strategy.

Microsoft began transitioning away from strict console exclusivity in early 2024, adopting a more traditional third-party publishing model. Since then, the company has ported numerous Xbox titles to rival platforms, including recent same-day releases like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.

According to developer CVs obtained by MP1st, a designer working on Gears of War: E-Day listed PS5 as one of the project's target platforms. This aligns with rumors circulating since mid-2024 about a PlayStation version of the anticipated prequel to the original trilogy. While currently targeting a 2026 release, it remains unclear whether the PS5 version will launch simultaneously with the Xbox version.

Similarly, an Undead Labs developer's resume mentions PS5 as a target platform for State of Decay 3. Originally planned for 2025, the zombie survival game has reportedly been delayed to 2026. The timing of its PlayStation release remains uncertain, potentially following Microsoft's pattern of staggered multi-platform launches seen with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
