A recent job listing from The Coalition, the developer of Gears of War: E-Day, has sparked speculation about a potential PlayStation release for the highly-anticipated shooter. Xbox previously announced Gears of War: E-Day for Xbox Series X/S and PC during its big summer showcase in June. However, if this job listing is any indication, a PlayStation 5 release could also be in consideration.

Gears of War: E-Day is a prequel featuring younger versions of popular characters Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago. The game will cover the events of Emergence Day, when the Locust hordes first attacked the planet. Traditionally, the Gears of War series has been closely associated with the Xbox platform, with Microsoft acquiring the rights to the IP in 2014. However, recent reports suggest that Microsoft is increasingly open to making its first-party titles available on multiple platforms, with no strict exclusivity barriers.



The Gears of War: E-Day reveal trailer explicitly states that the game will launch on PC and Xbox Series X/S. Nonetheless, a recent job listing for a senior online client engineer at The Coalition has hinted at a potential PS5 release. The listing, aimed at enhancing the multiplayer and online experiences for Gears of War: E-Day, includes a preferred qualification for "experience with Xbox Live, PSN, Steam, or other online gaming platforms." The mention of PSN (PlayStation Network) is particularly intriguing.

User nib95_ on Twitter noted that The Coalition has not previously sought software engineers with experience in PSN for past Gears of War titles. This detail lends some credibility to the idea that a PS5 release of Gears of War: E-Day might be under consideration. However, there is no official confirmation that The Coalition is developing a PS5 port of Gears of War: E-Day. The job listing could simply be seeking candidates with broad network architecture experience or hinting at potential PlayStation ports of older Gears of War games.
