Gears of War: E-Day production budget reported at over $500 million

Reports say Gears of War: E-Day had a production budget of over $500 million. This figure excludes marketing costs. A PS5 version of the game was reportedly cancelled at the last minute.

Revenue for the title appears low relative to that budget. Alinea Analytics estimates the game made $37 million at launch, while other analysts estimate it earned around $42 million during its first week. Analytics data shows Game Pass subscribers accounted for 74.6% of revenue, with over 1.7 million players accessing the game through the subscription.

In early October, employees at The Coalition reported concerns regarding potential layoffs following the game's launch.
