A recent report from Kotaku suggests that the production budget for Gears of War: E-Day surpassed $500 million, a figure that excludes marketing expenses. This estimate comes from an insider familiar with Xbox business operations.
Analysts previously estimated that the title generated approximately $42 million in revenue during its initial week. Consequently, this revenue represents less than 10% of the reported development costs incurred by Microsoft.
Employees at The Coalition expressed concerns regarding potential layoffs following the launch. These anxieties are linked to the broader Xbox Reset initiative and the current state of the gaming industry.
Data indicates that 74.6% of the game's revenue originated from Game Pass subscribers, with over 1.7 million players accessing the title through the service. The long-term impact remains uncertain as Xbox balances its subscription strategy with the game's performance as an exclusive release.
