Key information
Gears of War: E-Day, the latest title from The Coalition, has launched with significant momentum on Steam. Despite being available to Microsoft subscribers via Xbox Game Pass, the game has secured a top position in revenue rankings on Valve's platform.
The title currently stands as the highest-grossing paid game on Steam. According to SteamDB, it has reached a peak of 31,517 concurrent players, a figure that may continue to rise as the first weekend following its release approaches.
Developed as a prequel, the narrative focuses on the Emergence Day invasion. Players control younger versions of Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago, exploring the events preceding the original Gears of War entry.
The game is available on Xbox Series X/S and PC. While it faces competition from free-to-play titles like Dota 2, its performance remains notable given the option for PC users to access the game through their existing subscription service.
