In Short:
- Xbox appears to be stepping back from keeping its first-party games exclusive, with rumors now hinting that the Gears of War franchise could eventually land on PS5
- Reliable leaker eXstas1s, who previously foresaw Ninja Gaiden 4, has hinted that a remastered Gears of War trilogy is currently being worked on.
- The Xbox’s announcement of the collection will likely include confirmation of a same-day launch on the PS5
Xbox has openly signaled a move away from exclusivity for its first-party games. With major titles such as Sea of Thieves, Indiana Jones, and The Outer Worlds 2 already confirmed for PS5, the latest news of Forza Horizon 5, a cornerstone of Xbox’s lineup—also making its way to PS5 further underscores this strategic shift.
Speculation has been growing about Halo and Gears of War possibly following Forza to PlayStation consoles, and recent developments have only added more credibility to these rumors.
Well-known leaker eXstas1s, who recently foresaw Ninja Gaiden’s inclusion in Xbox’s recent Developer Direct, posted a video earlier today suggesting that a remastered trilogy of the first three Gears of War titles is being developed.

PS5 Launch Rumored for Gears of War Remastered Collection
According to the video mainly confirms that the upcoming project, named Gears Collection, will be revealed by Xbox alongside the news of its launch on PlayStation platforms.
“I can simply confirm the existence of Gears Collection after extensive verification, and it appears to be in development. When it’s eventually announced, though the timing is unclear, it will be revealed as a day-one multiplatform release.”
While a Nintendo Switch version hasn’t been confirmed, it’s plausible given the collaborative history between Nintendo and Xbox . The real challenge, though, is whether the speculated Switch 2 could handle the game’s requirements.
If eXstas1s’ claims are correct, it’s worth considering whether Gears of War: E-Day might also make its way to PS5. Given the prequel’s planned 2025 release, it would be inconsistent for Xbox to offer the original trilogy on PlayStation while keeping the new, flagship title exclusive.
The details will likely become clearer during Xbox’s upcoming summer event, where more information is expected to be revealed.
