The Xbox Podcast deep dive on E-Day was published on Monday and briefly featured a version of the latest trailer that incorrectly stated that the game was coming to Sony’s console.

The PS5 logo slip-up in the Xbox podcast seems to support claims that the decision to make Gears an Xbox-only game was made at the last minute by its leadership team.

      Is the whole idea really just XBOX people being able to say to PS5 people “I have something you’ll never be able to get”?

      I think the execs overestimate how valuable that is. And yeah, that is extremely cringe-worthy.

        Exclusives make no sense in the current climate. Who is buying a console now to play 1 game? They are hoping they will sell more to brand loyal customers who feel less “betrayed” this way. I mean they will release it on PS5 eventually anyway, but dont tell the Xbox diehards that.
